Daily allowance

  • Daily allowance is the same amount as the daily allowance military conscripts receive.
  • Daily allowance is progressive depending on the amount of service.
  • When counting the amount of daily allowance, days completed in military service are counted as calendar days and not the multiplication.
  • Daily allowance is paid for every day, even Saturday and Sunday.
  • Daily allowance is paid retroactively once or twice a month.
  • You will decide about the schedule for the payment of daily allowance in the contract. If the payment has been scheduled to be sent every two weeks, the service location cannot change the schedule by themself to occur once a month.
  • Your service location will inform the paid daily allowance to the income register.
