Professional liability and legal expenses insurance
Those insured
Those insured are the union’s members in an employment or public service relationship and student members. Also insured are the student members of the union's student association in matters related to studies or internships, as well as those members of the Retired Teachers in Finland OSJ who have purchased OAJ's advocacy service package due to being employed temporarily.
Professional liability insurance
Liability insurance covers personal injuries and property damage caused by a member in the course of his or her work and for which the insured is liable under applicable law. Turva determines the insured's liability, compensates for damages covered by liability and takes care of legal issues concerning the question of liability.
Professional legal expenses insurance
The insurance covers members who have paid the membership fee in accordance with the rules of the union and who have been members of the union for the past six months. The six-month waiting period (duration of membership) does not apply to new members who join the union directly from another trade union and who were insured with a similar legal expenses insurance in the previous union.
Legal expenses insurance covers necessary and reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred in disputes arising from civil disputes related to employment, public service or commission relationships. Contrary to clause E17 of the terms and conditions, the insurance also covers criminal cases related to employment and public service relationships when these do not concern wilful acts by the insured, gross negligence or gross carelessness. A civil claim for damages by the insured person in connection with a criminal case is reimbursed if the claim is contested on its basis or amount.
The insurance also covers legal costs ordered to be paid to the opposing party in accordance with the terms and conditions. The use of legal expenses insurance requires the written consent of the union.
The insurance is valid in work performed abroad anywhere in the world if the employment relationship is between a Finnish employer and the insured and the disputes arising from this employment relationship are settled under Finnish law. The insurance also applies to matters handled on the basis of the Equality Act and the Non-Discrimination Act and to matters related to applying for a vacancy when the organization deems it necessary considering the nature of the matter.
Under special circumstances, legal aid may be provided to a member during the pre-trial investigation when the organization and Turva jointly deem it necessary considering the nature of the matter and provision of the legal aid has been agreed between the organization and Turva in advance.
Always contact your union's lawyer first. The union takes care of the insured person's case or appoints a legal counsel to handle the matter. The union or legal counsel submits the claim for compensation for legal expenses to Turva.
Group insurance for organizations
Insured persons and validity
Group insurance for organizations is valid in the organization’s activities and events worldwide. Those insured are the members of the union and the spouse or companion accompanying the member. Contrary to the insurance terms, the upper age limit of 70 years does not apply in traveler insurance.
Definition of organizational activities
Organizational activities include pre-planned meetings, training events, seminars, summer and winter get-togethers and other similar events organized by the union or organization. Organizational activities also include serving as a representative of the union in meetings, advocacy work and organizational activities.
Traveler insurance
Traveler insurance covers the treatment costs of an illness or accident that begins during a trip for organizational activities. The insurance also covers costs caused by a cancelled or interrupted trip and delayed departure. The insurance may also include compensation in the form of a daily allowance for temporary disability caused by a travel accident and compensation for permanent disability and accidental death.
Baggage insurance
Baggage insurance covers sudden and unexpected property damage, such as theft or breakage, on trips taken for organizational activities. The insurance may also reimburse the costs of purchasing necessities if the baggage is delayed.
The organization’s insurance also includes travel liability and travel legal expenses insurance.
