the employees regardless of the employer’s domicile.
The employee does not need to be insured in Finland, if an A1 form (E101
prior to 1 May 2010) is provided to prove that the employee comes under
the social security legislation of another EU country while in Finland. In this
case, the employee is insured in the country issuing the certificate.
