Insurance fund (a-kassa)

Am I automatically a member of an unemployment insurance fund (a-kassa) as a member of Ledarna?

Svar

No, you have to apply for membership of an unemployment insurance fund (a-kassa). If you want to belong to an unemployment insurance fund (a-kassa), you choose which one you want to belong to.

Ledarna’s unemployment insurance fund (Ledarnas a-kassa) is completely independent from Ledarna, so if you want to join their unemployment insurance fund (a-kassa), you have to contact them directly.

The website you are visiting belongs to the Swedish management organisation Ledarna. We are an employee organisation, a trade union, and not an unemployment insurance fund (a-kassa).

Please bear in mind

If you become unemployed, your compensation will be higher if you are a member of an unemployment insurance fund (a-kassa).
