Työehdotuslaki

Työehdotuslaki, or the Employment Proposal Act, is a Finnish law that regulates the process of making job offers to employees. The law aims to ensure that job offers are made in a fair and transparent manner, protecting both employers and employees. It was enacted in 1994 and has since been amended several times to adapt to changes in the labor market and societal norms.

The law requires that job offers be made in writing and include certain specific information. This includes the job title, the employer's name and address, the starting date of employment, the duration of the trial period, the salary, and the working hours. The offer must also specify the conditions of employment, such as the type of employment contract, the working hours, and any other relevant details.

The law also sets out the procedures for making job offers, including the time frame within which the offer must be made and the conditions under which it can be withdrawn. Employers must provide employees with a written confirmation of the job offer, which must be signed by both parties.

The purpose of the law is to protect employees from unfair practices by employers, such as making false or misleading job offers. It also aims to ensure that employees have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of their employment before they begin work. The law applies to all employers and employees in Finland, regardless of the size of the employer or the nature of the work.
