Työsopimuslailla

Työsopimuslaki is the Finnish Employment Contracts Act. It is the primary legislation governing the employment relationship between an employer and an employee in Finland. The law establishes the fundamental rights and obligations of both parties. Key provisions include requirements for written employment contracts, notice periods for termination, rules on working hours and rest periods, and regulations concerning holidays and sick pay.

The Työsopimuslaki aims to ensure fair and equitable working conditions and to protect employees from unfair dismissal. It also outlines procedures for collective bargaining and the role of trade unions. Amendments to the law are made periodically to reflect changes in the labor market and societal needs. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health is responsible for overseeing the implementation and development of this legislation. Compliance with the Työsopimuslaki is mandatory for all employers operating in Finland, regardless of the size of the business. Failure to adhere to its provisions can result in legal penalties.
