Päiväpalkalla

Päiväpalkalla is a Finnish term that translates to "on a daily wage" or "daily pay." It refers to a system of employment where a worker is paid a fixed amount for each day they work, rather than an hourly rate or a fixed monthly salary. This method of payment is common in certain industries and for specific types of work in Finland.

The daily wage is typically agreed upon between the employer and employee before the work commences. It accounts for the expected duration and nature of the tasks to be performed. This can be a straightforward arrangement for seasonal work, temporary projects, or for laborers in sectors like construction, agriculture, or event services.

While a daily wage simplifies payment for short-term engagements, it's important for workers to understand how it compares to hourly or salaried positions. Factors such as the number of working hours within a day, potential for overtime, and any benefits or entitlements associated with the employment need to be considered. In Finland, labor laws still apply to those paid on a daily basis, ensuring basic rights and protections. The exact terms and conditions of a päiväpalkalla arrangement are usually outlined in an employment contract or agreement.
