Töövormile

Töövormile is the allative singular form of the Estonian noun töövorm, which means a form of work or a work arrangement. The allative case marks direction toward something, so töövormile is used in sentences that refer to moving toward, applying, or adapting to a particular form of work.

Töövorm itself is a compound formed from töö (work) and vorm (form, arrangement). It is used in HR, employment law, and organizational contexts to describe the different ways work can be organized, such as full-time, part-time, remote work, or flexible schedules. In discussions about changes in working arrangements, the concept of olika forms of a given work arrangement often appears.

Usage in context centers on indicating transitions or applications to a form of work. Töövormile commonly appears after verbs that express movement toward something, such as üleminek (transition), kohandumine (adaptation), or pöördumine (referring to). For example: “Ettevõte teatas üleminekust uuele töövormile.” “Dokument kirjeldab, kuidas töövormile üleminek mõjutab töötajate õigusi.” Another example could be in policy texts discussing changes to contracts or schedules.

Related terms include töövorm (the form of work) and töövormid (forms of work). Specific forms of work, such as kaugtöö (remote work) or paindlik töövorm (flexible work arrangement), are common contexts in which the concept of form of work is discussed.
