Summer work voucher

The City of Äänekoski's summer job campaign offers young people summer jobs and support for self-employment in the form of summer entrepreneurship and summer job vouchers. The campaign also supports companies and associations that employ young people for the summer. The summer 2025 summer job campaign will be announced on this website and on the city's social media channels.

Summer work voucher for employer 2025, application period 10.2. - 11.5.2025 May XNUMX

An association or company operating in Äänekoske or in the area (domicile and/or office, production plant, shop, construction site, etc.) that employs a young person born in 2007-2009 for summer work, can apply for support from the city for the young person's salary costs.

Summer work voucher application (link will be updated when the application begins)

Support:

  • At least 2 weeks (10 working days) for employment 250 €
  • At least 4 weeks (20 working days) for employment 400 €. The employment relationship can be longer, but it does not affect the amount of support.

A young person hired for summer work must be paid salary according to the collective agreement of the industry and take care of other statutory employer obligations (social costs, accident insurance, etc.). A summer work voucher cannot cover the entire salary costs.

If there is no applicable collective agreement, the salary must be at least the amount that the conditions regarding the salary of the employment condition referred to in chapter 5, section 4, subsection 3 of the Unemployment Security Act are met. In 2024, this means that the salary must be at least €1399,24/month in full-time work (STM decree 2024/117 on the salary coefficient for 2023).

The summer work voucher is covered by de minimis support.

A private economy, family or private person cannot act as an employer. 

The support is paid to the employer retroactively after the summer work period, when the employer has delivered a copy of the payslip 17.8.2025 by for the summer work supervisor.

A young person employed by a company or association can only benefit from one summer work voucher in the same year. Support is also not granted for the employment of a self-employed young person with a summer entrepreneurship voucher or if the young person is employed in the city's summer jobs.

The decision to grant or reject support will be sent to the email address given in the application when the decision has been made. Support is granted as long as there are enough funds in the order of application and prioritization.
