Report any paid wages and salaries to the Incomes Register. The Employment Fund will receive information concerning unemployment insurance contributions from the Incomes Register. Earnings payment reports must be submitted to the Incomes Register as a rule within five days of the earnings having been paid. For up-to-date information about the Incomes Register and instructions of how to report earnings, go to the Incomes Register website.
Earnings payment reports are made of all employees and each earnings day separately without any minimum amounts in euros. Also any wage paid to a minor must be entered in the Incomes Register. Persons older than 65 or under 18 do not have an obligation to pay unemployment insurance contributions. Earnings must be reported to the Incomes Register using an exceptional insurance type. You must select "No insurance obligation, unemployment insurance" as the exceptional insurance type.

The wage sum report record is used to declare the wage sums paid during the insurance year to employees and part-owners. The report must be submitted by the end of January after the insurance year has ended. Wage sum reports can be made for the years 2013–2018.
Training compensation can be applied for in conjunction with the wage sum report until 2018, or it can be applied for using a separate notification. The training compensation application record must only be used as part of the wage sum report record when the employer is applying for training compensation. Companies falling within the scope of the Business Tax Act or the Agricultural Income Tax Act are not generally entitled to training compensation. Such companies may apply for a training deduction from the Finnish Tax Administration.
