Certificate for incapacitated jobseekers

If you have a disability or illness affecting employment, you can request a certificate for incapacitated jobseekers from Helsinki Employment Services.

If you have an injury or illness diagnosed by a physician that affects your employment and you are about to be employed by a large employer, you can ask the employment authority for a certificate stating that you have been registered as partially disabled in the employment services customer information system. A large employer is an employer who has insurance from an employment pension company and whose annual salary exceeds the large employer's salary limit.

A certificate of a partially disabled jobseeker reduces the threshold for a large employer to hire an employee with partial work ability and promotoes your employment. When you have the certificate, your employer's employment pension contribution category will not change if you have to retire on a disability pension during the first five years of your employment relationship.
