Notify us if you take on an assignment
Assignments can be an obstacle to receiving unemployment compensation. If you're unsure how an assignment might affect your compensation eligibility, contact us — we’ll help clarify the terms. It’s important to reach out before accepting any assignment to understand how it may impact your right to compensation and to avoid incorrect payments.
Assignments as self-employment
If the assignment is considered self-employment, you are not entitled to a-kassa compensation until the assignment activity has completely ceased.
If you invoice the assignment using your own F- or F/A-tax certificate, or through a relative’s company, you are considered self-employed. Even if you use an invoicing service such as Frilans Finans or Cool Company — which handles taxes and social contributions — you may still be classified as self-employed in certain cases. Contact us for more information.
Assignments as employment
If the assignment is considered employment, you may be eligible for compensation between assignments — and in some cases, even alongside the assignment if it is part-time.
For our investigation, we need to know:
When the assignment begins and ends
What you are being paid for and the basis for the compensation (e.g., hourly rate, fixed fee, per task)
This information helps determine how the assignment affects your eligibility for compensation.
How to apply
Request a written agreement and upload it to Mina sidor so we can assess your eligibility for compensation during the assignment and determine how it should be reported in your monthly application.
If no written agreement exists, you must provide the details yourself along with contact information for the client.
