Yöpisteet
Yöpisteet is a Finnish term that translates to "night points" or "night credits." It refers to a system that allows employees to accumulate extra hours worked beyond their standard working day or week. These accumulated hours can then be used as compensatory time off at a later date. The specific rules and regulations regarding yöpisteet are typically outlined in employment contracts or collective bargaining agreements. The purpose of this system is to provide flexibility for both employers and employees, allowing for adjustment of work schedules based on project needs or personal circumstances. Employers can benefit from having staff available for extended periods when required, while employees gain the opportunity to take time off when it is more convenient for them. The accrual rate of yöpisteet and the conditions for using them can vary significantly between different workplaces and industries. It is essential for employees to understand the specific terms of their agreement to effectively manage and utilize their yöpisteet.
