Työehtosopimuksellinen

työehtosopimuksellinen is a Finnish adjective that translates to "collective agreement-based" or "related to a collective agreement." It describes something that is governed by, derived from, or operates under the terms of a collective labor agreement.

In the Finnish labor market, collective agreements (työehtosopimus) are formal contracts negotiated between employer organizations and trade unions. These agreements set out terms and conditions of employment, such as wages, working hours, holidays, and other benefits, for a specific sector or industry.

The term työehtosopimuksellinen is used to distinguish situations, rights, or obligations that are specifically stipulated in a collective agreement from those that might be regulated by individual employment contracts or statutory law alone. For example, an employee might have a työehtosopimuksellinen right to a certain level of overtime pay, meaning this right is guaranteed by the collective agreement applicable to their workplace. Similarly, a company's practices might be described as työehtosopimuksellinen if they are mandated by the industry's collective bargaining agreement. Understanding whether a matter is työehtosopimuksellinen is crucial for both employers and employees to know their rights and responsibilities within the Finnish labor law framework.
