Työnantajakertomus

Työnantajakertomus is a Finnish term that translates to "employer's statement" or "employer's report." It refers to a document provided by an employer to an employee that details the terms and conditions of their employment. This statement is a crucial element in establishing a clear and legally binding employment relationship in Finland.

The työnantajakertomus typically outlines essential information such as the employee's job title, main duties and responsibilities, start date of employment, and the place of work. It also specifies the duration of the employment, whether it is for a fixed term or an indefinite period. Details regarding salary, including the base pay, any bonuses or allowances, and the payment schedule, are also included. Furthermore, the statement covers working hours, notice periods for termination by either party, and information about holidays and sick leave entitlements.

In Finland, employers are legally obligated to provide a written työnantajakertomus to employees within a reasonable timeframe after the employment begins, often within the first month. This document serves to protect both the employer and the employee by clearly defining their rights and obligations. It helps prevent misunderstandings and provides a reference point in case of any disputes. The contents of the työnantajakertomus must comply with Finnish labor law and any applicable collective bargaining agreements. It is considered a fundamental document for ensuring fair employment practices.
