Kuittaaminen

Kuittaaminen is a Finnish term that translates to "dismissal" or "termination" in English. It refers to the act of ending an employment relationship between an employee and an employer. This process can occur for various reasons, including poor performance, redundancy, or the completion of a fixed-term contract. The termination can be voluntary, where the employee leaves the job, or involuntary, where the employer dismisses the employee.

In Finland, the process of kuittaaminen is governed by labor laws and collective bargaining agreements. Employers must follow specific procedures to ensure fairness and legality. This often involves providing the employee with a written notice of termination, outlining the reasons and any compensation due. The notice period can vary depending on the length of the employment and the specific circumstances.

Employees who are dismissed may be entitled to severance pay, which is a form of compensation for the loss of employment. The amount and conditions of this pay are determined by the collective bargaining agreement or labor laws. It is important for both employers and employees to understand their rights and obligations during the kuittaaminen process to ensure a fair and just outcome.
