Income insurance

If you are a professionally active member of Engineers of Sweden and the Akademikernas a-kassa unemployment fund, you are automatically covered by our generous income insurance. This insurance can provide 80 percent compensation for a gross monthly salary of up to SEK 100 000 for 150 days if you become unemployed involuntarily.
