Palgaaruanne

Palgaaruanne is a term that refers to a salary statement or payslip in Finnish. It is a document provided by an employer to an employee detailing the remuneration for a specific pay period. This statement typically outlines various components of the employee's earnings and deductions.

Key information found on a palgaaruanne includes the gross salary, which is the total amount earned before any deductions. It also lists statutory deductions such as income tax, social security contributions (including pension and unemployment insurance), and often other voluntary deductions like union fees or health insurance premiums. The net salary, the amount the employee actually receives after all deductions, is clearly stated.

In addition to financial breakdowns, a palgaaruanne may include details about the employee's work hours, any overtime pay, holiday pay, and benefits received. It serves as an important record for both the employee, for personal financial management and tax purposes, and for the employer, for payroll administration and legal compliance. Finnish law mandates that employers provide employees with a payslip.
