How to submit the declaration to the union
As a TYVI file
- TYVI, the information flow between businesses and public authorities, works via a web browser. It is provided by the operators Aditro, Posti, CGI and Futunio.
- Pro has an agreement with the above-mentioned operators for the electronic transmission of trade union membership fee data in accordance with the TYVI model. TYVI = data flows between enterprises and public authorities.
- For more information on the transmission of electronic data, please contact your TYVI operator.
- Statements can also be submitted using Futunion's free Statements+ service (www.selvitysplus.fi). To use this service, you need to register with your company's business ID and your own e-mail address, after which you can send the information via a secure connection. Registration is free of charge and does not constitute any obligation.
By e-mail
- The file must be an ASCII or ANSI text file created by the payroll administration.
- The content of the file must follow the standard data description.
- The Union will not accept files sent in spreadsheet or word processing format.
- YAP system: when the employer also reports in file format the contributions of other trade unions to the YAP system, the file can be accompanied by the Pro settlement information under 022. The YAP transmits the information to all unions, including Pro.
On the paper list
The delivery address is the Trade Union Pro, Employer Registration, PL 183, 00581 Helsinki.
Member-specific references
- The member-specific references include information on the employer collecting the membership fee, the member and the pay period, so no separate statement is required.
- Member-specific references are suitable for the collection of contributions from 1 to 5 persons. Each member's contribution is paid each month on the basis of his/her own reference.
Pro sends the information on the trade union contribution to the tax authorities
- We send our members' membership fee information to the tax authorities by 31 January so that it can be included in the tax proposals sent to members.
- The information on membership fees sent to the tax authorities is based on the member-specific statements received from employers by 15 January.
Instructions for the statement of contributions
Please use the correct reference when remitting dues to Pro.
Always use the reference for the month to which the salary relates when you bill your membership fees, regardless of when the salary is paid. The reference is important to correctly allocate statements based on the date the salary was earned.
If the salary is paid more than once a month (same pay period/month), use the same reference for all statements of contributions.
When salary payments are interrupted or terminated
Membership contributions are not due during periods such as family leave, study or unpaid sick leave. To qualify for a contribution waiver, the employee must register the interruption with the Union's Register of Members.
When a member's dues cease to be deducted, he or she must inform his or her employer, as we at Pro cannot do this on the member's behalf. The notification must include the member's name and the date from which the member's dues payment to Pro will cease.
If the business ceases
Notify the union if your business is closing or changing ownership. This will inform us of the new employer/owner and we will no longer expect dues statements from the old employer.
Business merger
If a merger involves several members, the collection of membership fees can be agreed without renewing the collection agreements. Often the terms of employment are agreed to remain unchanged, and this can also be used for the collection. The union will be informed of the members affected by the change. The notification/group authorisation must include; the names of the members, their personal ID numbers, the name, address and social security number of the former and new employer and the contact person of the company (payroll administration).
