Poisjäämisellä

Poisjäämisellä refers to the concept in Finnish law that relates to the responsibility of employers for their employees' safety and well-being after the end of employment contracts. According to the Finnish Employment Contracts Act, an employer is responsible for the working conditions of an employee during the term of the contract, but this responsibility ceases when the contract is terminated, except in cases where the employee was exposed to a risk of injury at work that could lead to a disabling illness or a fatal injury.

In cases where an employer is found to have been negligent in the provision of a safe working environment, they may still be held liable for any resulting harm to their employees, even after the termination of the employment contract. The concept of poisjäämisella is important in Finnish employment law as it protects employees from potential risks and provides a framework for employers to ensure that they are not responsible for accidents or illnesses occurring after termination of employment.

Examples of situations where an employer may be held liable for employees under the concept of poisjäämisella include when an employee is still exposed to toxic substances in the workplace after leaving, or when the employee is still required to return to the workplace for tasks such as cleaning up spills. In such cases, employers are required to take steps to mitigate the risks and provide any necessary follow-up care for the employee. The specific requirements and responsibilities of employers in relation to poisjäämisella are outlined in the Finnish Employment Contracts Act.
