Whenever considering employment of a private domestic worker, the employer should contact the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela) in advance in order to make certain which social security scheme is applicable and which payments for social security benefits are obligatory for each private domestic worker. Kela´s Centre for International Affairs provides service on coverage and benefit issues tel. 020 634 0200 and e-mail inter.helsinki@kela.fi
Kela decides independently on the access of each employee to social benefits administered by Kela, e.g. sickness-related benefits.
As regards statutory earnings-related pension contributions it is advisable to contact the Finnish Centre for Pensions.
