Kokoaikatyöntekijöiden

Kokoaikatyöntekijöiden refers to full-time employees in Finnish employment contexts. A full-time worker is typically defined as someone employed to work a standard number of hours per week, which is generally considered to be 37.5 or 40 hours, though this can vary slightly by industry or collective agreement. This contrasts with part-time workers who are employed for fewer hours than a full-time equivalent.

Full-time employment in Finland usually comes with a comprehensive set of rights and benefits, including statutory holiday pay, sick leave entitlements, and pension contributions. These workers are often entitled to the same basic employment rights as part-time workers, but the extent and duration of these benefits are typically greater due to the higher number of hours worked. The Finnish Employment Contracts Act (Työsopimuslaki) outlines the fundamental principles governing employment relationships, including those for full-time positions.

Employers offering full-time positions are obligated to provide a written employment contract detailing the terms of employment, such as working hours, salary, duties, and the duration of the contract (if applicable). The concept of kokoaikatyöntekijöiden is central to the Finnish labor market, reflecting a commitment to stable and secure employment for a significant portion of the workforce. It is a common and widely understood term in discussions about employment statistics, labor conditions, and economic policy within Finland.
