Tuntiperusteiseen

Tuntiperusteiseen is a Finnish term that translates to "hourly-based" or "on an hourly basis." It refers to a system or arrangement where something is calculated, compensated, or structured according to the number of hours worked or utilized. This concept is commonly encountered in employment contexts, where wages are often determined by the hours an employee spends working. Similarly, in service industries, the cost of a service might be itemized and billed based on the time it takes to deliver.

The application of a tuntiperusteinen approach implies a direct correlation between time and value or cost. For example, a consulting service priced tuntiperusteiseen means the client pays for the actual hours the consultant dedicates to the project. In education, some courses might be offered on a tuntiperusteinen basis, where students pay for the hours of instruction they receive. This model emphasizes transparency in billing and allows for flexibility, as the total cost can fluctuate depending on the actual time invested. It stands in contrast to fixed-price agreements or other pricing models that do not directly link cost to temporal duration.
