Work try-out
A work trial allows a job seeker to find out if a particular field or job is right for them. As an employer, you can offer a job seeker a work trial position. The employment experts of the City of Riihimäki will help you arrange a work trial relationship with the job seeker. We will help you draw up a work trial agreement and meet job seekers who are interested in a work trial.
A work trial is not an employment relationship, and therefore the employer does not pay a salary during the work trial. Kela may pay the work trial participant labor market support and compensation for the work trial days. The person participating in the work trial is not covered by the employer's occupational health care or insurance, but the South Häme employment region is responsible for the insurance. The work trial does not accrue the job seeker's annual vacation days or pension.
At its best, a work trial is the beginning of a long and successful employment relationship.
