How to report a change or end your job search

Your right to unemployment benefits is checked on the basis of the change or deactivation notification of your job search.

You can report one change in your employment situation in the E-services at Job Market Finland at a time. Once this change has been processed, you can report the next change.

If you report the end of your job search in the future, you cannot report any other changes in the E-services at Job Market Finland.

You can also report a change taking place in a maximum of 30 days, at the start of your job search.

If you are unable to report a change or deactivation of your job search at Job Market Finland, contact the service location responsible for your customer relationship.

Submitting a job search change notification
