Työpäivät

Työpäivät refer to the working days in a week, typically Monday through Friday in Finland. The standard workweek consists of five days, with weekends reserved for rest and personal activities. In Finland, the working hours are generally regulated by law, with the average workweek being 40 hours.

The Working Hours Act in Finland specifies that an employee's regular working time should not exceed eight hours per day or 40 hours per week. However, there are exceptions for certain industries and positions where flexible working hours or shift work may be implemented.

Many Finnish companies have adopted flexible working arrangements, including remote work options and flexible hours. This has become increasingly common, especially in recent years. Public holidays are not counted as workdays, and additional time off is typically granted for these occasions.

The concept of work-life balance is highly valued in Finnish culture, and the five-day workweek is designed to support this balance. Many Finns use their weekends for outdoor activities, family time, and pursuing personal interests, contributing to the country's high quality of life rankings.
