Frequently asked questions

Am I an employee of KST Events?

No, you don't. You work as an independent contractor or light entrepreneur. KST Events is your client, not your employer, and no employment relationship is formed between the parties. Truster acts as an invoicing service through which private individuals invoice their clients. So this is not an employment relationship — it's a client engagement.

What is a service agreement?

The client is not the contractor's employer, and no employment relationship is formed between the parties. Truster acts as an invoicing service through which private individuals invoice their clients. The service agreement covers: - The contracting parties - The scope of the assignment - The contract period - Price and payment details - Expenses - Termination of the agreement (notice and cancellation) - Additional terms - Liabilities Please note that this is not an employment relationship, but a client engagement. The service agreement template is provided through KST.

What if I already have a sole proprietorship or my own company?

If you'd like to invoice KST using your own sole proprietorship, please contact KST support. Invoicing for KST through Truster is primarily done as a light entrepreneur.

When will I get paid?

Pay is always disbursed on the 15th of the following month. Check with KST Events for up-to-date schedules. Your pay slip is generated both in the Truster app and in your online bank. You'll find the pay slip in your online bank under Online Salary. Select Maventa as your online salary operator.

What expenses can I deduct as a light entrepreneur?

As a light entrepreneur, you can generally deduct the following costs as income-generating expenses in your own taxation — by adding the details to your own tax return: - Material costs - YEL insurance contributions (if you pay your YEL insurance yourself) You'll receive tax-free travel and per diem allowances once KST submits the information required by the Finnish Tax Administration for the gig. After that, these reimbursements are paid tax-free as part of your pay, so you don't need to report these expenses to the tax authorities yourself.

What should I do if I have an accident during a gig?

You'll find more information about the insurance on our website. 1. In the event of an accident at work or while traveling for work, we recommend seeking treatment as soon as possible, primarily from Pohjola Vakuutus's partner medical facilities. In urgent cases, you can go to any doctor or hospital for first aid. Show or provide your insurance ID, which you'll find in the FAQ section of your Truster profile. We primarily recommend seeking treatment at the accident emergency services of Pihlajalinna, Terveystalo or Mehiläinen. 2. Fill out a claim report via the link hae-korvausta.op.fi Select Leisure-time accident or sports injury (compensation from accident or group accident insurance). Provide your insurance ID (found in the FAQ section of the Truster app) and Truster Works Oy's Business ID (Y-tunnus) 3131729-7. The claim form will then ask you to describe as precisely as possible what happened, and at the end, you'll be asked to report the resulting costs and your account number. 3. Claims service phone number for your specific claim: 0100 5330.

Guides

Creating and sending invoices

A draft invoice for adding expenses arising from your partner's gigs first appears in your profile with an amount of €0.00. Once we receive the invoicing data from the client, we automatically combine the fee information with the draft invoice data. An invoice with the total amount is then created in your profile, and you can track its status through the app. This means you don't need to create or send invoices for these assignments yourself. How do I create an invoice for another assignment? If you also do other assignments for which you create your own invoices, you can easily create invoices directly in the Invoices section of the app. You can find more detailed instructions for creating other invoices here.

How do I add expenses as a light entrepreneur

Truster creates invoices on your behalf based on the information received from the client, meaning you don't need to create or send the invoice yourself. Your job is simply to add your own travel expenses and allowances to the ready draft invoice in your profile during the work period, if you want them to be tax-free as part of the fee payment. By adding travel expenses to the draft invoice, you ensure that you receive the tax-free reimbursements you're entitled to right away with the fee payment, meaning you'll have more money left in your pocket! Expenses accounted for in the fee payment don't need to be reported separately to the Tax Administration. Please note that fuel, charging, or material costs cannot be added to the invoice as tax-deductible expenses in your role as a light entrepreneur. You can add these to your personal tax return as income-generating expenses instead. The video covers the following topics: • 1:45 Adding mileage allowances • 3:19 Adding per diems • 5:42 Adding expense reimbursements 1. Start from the invoice Open the Truster app and go to the Invoices section to the draft invoice you want to add expenses to. Select Add row and then Add or edit expenses. 2. Select the work location When adding expenses for completed gigs, set the workplace as Special. If you work permanently in the same place, such as at home or at an office, this is considered your actual workplace. In this case, travel between home and the workplace is generally not reimbursed. Finally, check the expenses See the expense-specific instructions below. Once all expenses have been added, check the details and make sure all expenses are included. You don't need to send the invoice — we will match the expenses to the correct gig once we receive the invoicing data from the client.
