- You start working as a waiter or cleaner for a summer worker at the beginning of June. Your employment contract states that your period of employment is 1.6.2023-31.7.2023.

- You join PAM as a summer job member at the 5th of June.

- Your first month after joining (June) is free-of-charge. From the day you'll join PAM you will have access to all of PAM’s many membership benefits and advice services.

- Paying the membership fee. For a summer job member the membership fee is only 10 euros/month. Since the first month (june)  is free-of-charge, you will only pay the membership fee from July (1.7.- 31.7.2023).

- You will receive instructions on how to pay your membership fee, so you don't have to pay anything at this point when you join.

- Your PAM membership ends automatically on 31.7.2023. 

But if:
- You continue working, for example part-time worker alongside with your studies, you can become a regular member of PAM by notifying us. You can notify us for example via the PAM online services.
