Ilmoitusjakso

Ilmoitusjakso refers to a period of notice that must be given before certain actions take effect, most commonly in employment or rental agreements. In the context of employment, it is the duration of time between an employee giving notice of resignation or an employer giving notice of termination, and the actual end date of the employment. Finnish employment law specifies minimum ilmoitusjakso requirements, which can vary based on the length of employment. These periods are designed to provide a buffer for both parties, allowing the employee time to find new employment and the employer to arrange for a replacement.

Similarly, in rental agreements, an ilmoitusjakso is the notice period required by either the tenant or the landlord to terminate the lease. The duration of this period is typically stipulated in the rental contract and is also subject to legal regulations. For example, a tenant might have a one-month ilmoitusjakso, meaning they must inform the landlord of their intention to vacate at least one month before their lease ends. The purpose of the ilmoitusjakso in rentals is to prevent sudden disruptions and allow for a smooth transition of tenancy. Failure to adhere to the stipulated ilmoitusjakso can lead to financial consequences for the party in breach.
