Hi, I am working since September 2018, Now I want to become a member. Its full-time job 40 hours per week. However, my second year of job started in September 2019. So, if I finish in august 2020 will I be able to get benefits of 12 months membership? Because I am working full time and salary is 27400SEK before tax. Or can I pay for one month extra to fulfill requirements or I will get compensation on the base of my working hours and salary?
