Työpaikkakohtaisina

Työpaikkakohtaisina is a Finnish term that translates to "workplace-specific" or "site-specific." It refers to conditions, regulations, agreements, or practices that are tailored to a particular workplace or an individual company, rather than being applied universally across an entire industry or country.

In the context of employment, työpaikkakohtaisina often pertains to collective agreements or individual employment contracts. While broader national or sectoral collective agreements set general standards for wages, working hours, and benefits, työpaikkakohtaisina arrangements can introduce supplementary or modified terms that are relevant to the unique circumstances of a specific company. This might include different bonus structures, flexible working time arrangements, or specific safety protocols.

The concept of työpaikkakohtaisina acknowledges that workplaces can have distinct needs and operational realities. Implementing such arrangements typically involves negotiations between employers and employee representatives, such as trade unions or worker councils. The aim is often to enhance flexibility, improve productivity, or address specific challenges faced by that particular organization. However, it is important that these workplace-specific arrangements do not contravene fundamental labor laws or the broader principles outlined in national legislation and higher-level collective agreements. The principle of non-discrimination is also crucial, ensuring that any workplace-specific terms are applied fairly to all employees.
