Hello,
I am new in Finland. I have applied for a language course. I know while learning the language course I will get financial help from the government. But I want to know if I can work on Saturdays. If I work on Saturdays, will it affect my allowance in any possible way?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, part-time working during unemployment might reduce your unemployment benefits.Manu1991 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 3:08 pmI am new in Finland. I have applied for a language course.

” You can work part-time or have short temporary jobs and get unemployment benefits at the same time. Your unemployment benefits will be adjusted to your salary. There is an exempt amount which you can earn and not reduce your unemployment benefit. The exempt amount has been raised to EUR 500 temporarily. The increase applies to benefit adjustment periods beginning between 1 June 2020 and 30 September 2021.”Manu1991 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 04, 2021 3:08 pmI am new in Finland.
