Earnings-related daily allowance is also subject to staggering during periods of part-time work. However, during part-time work, the 40‑day and 170‑day thresholds for staggering are reached more slowly.
Example:
Your full daily allowance is EUR 70 per day. You work part-time so that you receive adjusted daily allowance of EUR 35 per day for the period of work. In this case, it takes 80 days to reach the 40‑day staggering threshold.
When the daily allowance is reduced at the same time due to earned income from part-time work and staggering, the reduction due to staggering is applied first, followed by the reduction based on earned income. You can estimate the amount of your daily allowance after reductions due to staggering and earned income using the Finnish Unemployment Funds’ (TYJ) daily allowance calculator.
