Työnantajakohtaisessa

Työnantajakohtaisessa is a Finnish adjective phrase that means employer-specific or employer-related. It is used to describe aspects, rules, or conditions that pertain to the employer’s perspective, obligations, or interests, as opposed to those of employees or other parties. The term often appears in legal, regulatory, or organizational texts to delineate which provisions apply to the employer.

The form is derived from the noun työnantaja (employer) combined with the adjective part ko- taisen, forming työnantajakohtainen, and it takes a specific inflection when integrated into sentences. In inessive usage, which answers the question “where,” the word becomes työnantajakohtaisessa, as in in the employer-specific context. It functions as a modifier that agrees with the noun it describes in case and number, for example: työnantajakohtaisessa kontekstissa (in an employer-specific context) or työnantajakohtaisessa sääntelyssä (in employer-specific regulation).

Usage and context: Työnantajakohtaisessa is employed in discussions where distinctions between employer-centered considerations and other viewpoints are important, such as in labor law analyses, human resources policy work, or organizational decision-making. It helps practitioners articulate when rules or assessments are tailored to the employer’s situation rather than to employees, unions, or regulators.

Etymology and related terms: The term combines työnantaja (employer) and kohtainen (pertaining to), with Finnish inflection producing inessive form työnantajakohtaisessa. Related expressions include työntekijäkohtainen (employee-specific) and yrityskohtainen (company-specific), used to contrast different stakeholder perspectives.
