Join us March 10th at 8:30 AM for a breakfast event on two pillars of Finland’s earnings related pension system: YEL for entrepreneurs and TyEL for employees. Together, they ensure that both self employed people and wage earners accrue pension and receive essential social security throughout their working lives.
The Self Employed Person’s Pension Insurance (YEL) forms the foundation of every entrepreneur’s social security – yet its content, obligations, and implications often raise questions. You are warmly welcome to an event that explores YEL legislation in a clear and practical way.
During the session, we will go through when a self-employed person needs a YEL insurance, how the YEL income is determined, how recent legislative changes affect everyday entrepreneurial life, and what YEL means for both pension security and other aspects of social protection. You will receive up to date information as well as concrete examples to support your decision making.
This event is designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone responsible for understanding or managing pension related obligations in Finland. It is especially valuable for persons who are considering starting a business, or self employed individuals who want to ensure their YEL income is correctly assessed and up to date.
This event is free of charge, you do not need to be a member of Turku Chamber.
