No additional fees can be levied for participation in the activities.

Changes to the need for service

The need for service can be reduced up to twice during an operating year. Any changes to the autumn period should be made by the end of August, and any changes to the spring period should be made by the end of January.

The need for service can be increased at any time during the operating year. Any changes will be applied no earlier than the start of the following month.

Changes in the need for service should be registered through the Wilma online service. The form can be found in the Applications and decisions tab in Wilma. 

If the family consists of more than six persons, the income limit on which the client fee is based will be raised by €189 for each subsequent child in the family.

An exemption from fees must be applied for in writing for each operating year using the appropriate form. The exemption may be granted starting for the month the application is received.

Morning and afternoon club activities provided as specialised care are free of charge for a disabled pupil (Act on Specialised Care for the Disabled, 519/1977, Section 2). The need for morning and afternoon activities for a disabled child or youth should be recorded in their specialised care programme. Morning and afternoon club activities are free of charge for children under the age of 16 and for children aged 16 and over until the end of the school year in which the child turns 16.

Fee exemption for morning and afternoon club activities for a disabled pupil must be applied for in writing. A special care programme granted by Disabled Services must be appended to the application. Fee exemption based on a special care programme does not need to be re-applied for annually.
