PIDsäätöksen

PIDsäätöksen is a Finnish term that translates to "PID decision" or "PID ruling." It refers to a formal decision made by a public body or authority in Finland concerning a matter that falls under the purview of the Public Interest Disclosure Act (whistleblower protection). This legislation, officially known as Laki julkisyhteisöjen ilmiantajansuojasta, provides protection to individuals who report suspected illegal or unethical activities within public sector organizations.

A PIDsäätöksen is typically issued after an investigation has been conducted into a disclosure made by a whistleblower. The decision outlines whether the reported information warrants further action, such as disciplinary proceedings, legal action, or internal reforms. It also addresses the protection afforded to the whistleblower, ensuring they are not subjected to retaliation for having come forward. The process leading to a PIDsäätöksen involves careful assessment of the reported facts and consideration of relevant laws and regulations. The specific authority responsible for issuing such decisions can vary depending on the nature of the public body involved and the type of disclosure. Ultimately, the PIDsäätöksen serves as the formal conclusion to the assessment of a whistleblower's report within the Finnish legal framework.
