Employer, the Job Market Finland content on supporting work ability has been updated
- News
The updated content provides information on both proactive support for work ability and measures that can help when your employee's reduced work ability has already started to hinder their work.
On the Proactive support for work ability page, we describe measures that will help you prevent potential work ability problems for your employees. These measures include agreeing on procedures, monitoring sickness absences, cooperating with occupational healthcare, and having discussions related to work ability.
On the Change measures to support work ability page, you can find ways to address situations where your employee’s reduced work ability has started to hinder their work. For example, work adjustments can help modify an employee’s job description to better correspond and support their expertise and work ability. You may be eligible for subsidy for arranging working conditions for the purchase of work equipment and changes made at the workplace. In certain situations, a more detailed assessment of work ability or rehabilitation may also be beneficial.
As a completely new topic, the Change measures to support work ability page includes information on transferring a pay-subsidised employee to another employer. This option can be used, for example, in a situation where another employer has the opportunity to offer work tasks that are better suited to your employee's work ability.
In addition, the Change measures to support work ability page provides an information package on the impact of disability pensions for persons with partial work ability on the earnings-related pension contribution of large employers.
