Tilskudd til avløsere i reindriften ved svangerskap, fødsel, adopsjon og dødsfall

This grant program provides financial support to cover the cost of hiring replacement workers in reindeer husbandry during pregnancy, childbirth, adoption, and death. The program is designed to help reindeer herding operations continue during these life events by covering actual expenses for wages, vacation pay, and employer contributions. The subsidy applies to situations where the leader of a siida share or their spouse/cohabitant needs temporary replacement assistance. The program specifically covers the hiring of relief workers during pregnancy/birth and adoption of children under 15 years, as well as in the event of the death of a siida share leader. Eligible applicants must meet specific requirements including minimum sales income from reindeer meat sales and proper registration in the siida share system. The replacement work must be arranged as an employer-employee relationship, and the relief worker must be over 16 years old and not have business income in the siida share.
