Trainees and apprentices with side jobs now get free membership in the unemployment fund

From New Year's Eve, students and apprentices can work while studying and still get free membership of an unemployment insurance fund.

The maximum annual income for dues exemption will now be raised for students and apprentices from the pure student salary to the maximum amount that can be paid out in unemployment benefits in an income year.

Trainees, including students in school internships, and apprentices will thereby be treated the same as students receiving SU in the years 2022 and 2023.

This means that they will be able to take extra shifts or other part-time work and still have a free unemployment insurance membership, as long as their income in one year does not exceed the maximum amount that can be paid out in unemployment benefits in one income year. In 2022, the amount is DKK 232,212.

If the student earns more than the income ceiling, the unemployment insurance contribution will have to be paid for an entire year.

The rule is due to the tripartite agreement on labor shortages from October 2021
