Työaikatilaajat

Työaikatilaajat is a Finnish term that translates to "working time subscribers" or "working time requesters." It refers to individuals or entities that request or are granted specific working time arrangements. This concept is primarily relevant in the context of flexible working hours and non-standard employment agreements within Finland. Työaikatilaajat can encompass various scenarios, such as employees who apply for a reduced working week, a compressed work schedule, or the possibility to work remotely on certain days. It can also extend to employers who are in a position to offer or grant these flexible working time arrangements to their staff. The specifics of what constitutes a työaikatilaaja and the rights and obligations associated with such arrangements are governed by Finnish labor laws and collective bargaining agreements. These agreements often outline the process for requesting, approving, and implementing changes to standard working hours. The underlying principle is to allow for greater adaptability in working life, balancing the needs of both employers and employees.
