Työllistäjät

Työllistäjät refers to employers in Finland. This term encompasses individuals and organizations that hire employees to perform work. Finnish legislation defines an employer as a party that has entered into an employment contract with an employee. This contract establishes a working relationship where the employer directs and supervises the work, while the employee performs the agreed-upon tasks.

The role of a työllistäjä carries significant responsibilities. These include ensuring a safe and healthy working environment, adhering to labor laws regarding working hours, wages, and benefits, and providing necessary tools and training for the employee. Työllistäjät are also responsible for complying with tax regulations and social security contributions related to their employees.

Types of työllistäjät vary widely. They can be sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, public sector entities, or non-profit organizations. Each type of työllistäjä operates within specific legal frameworks and has different obligations. The Finnish business registry and other official sources provide information on registered employers. The concept of työllistäjä is central to the Finnish labor market, influencing economic activity and individual livelihoods.
