iltalisä

iltalisä is a Finnish term that translates to "evening supplement" or "evening bonus." It refers to an additional payment or benefit provided to employees for working shifts that fall outside of standard daytime working hours, specifically during the evening. This type of compensation is common in industries with 24/7 operations or extended service hours, such as healthcare, retail, transportation, and manufacturing.

The purpose of iltalisä is to compensate employees for the inconvenience and potential disruption to their personal lives associated with working evenings. It acknowledges that evening shifts can impact social activities, family time, and sleep patterns. The specific amount or percentage of iltalisä can vary significantly depending on the employer, collective bargaining agreements, and the exact hours of the evening shift. It is typically calculated as a percentage of the employee's base hourly wage or as a fixed hourly supplement.

While the term specifically denotes evening work, it is often grouped with other shift differentials, such as night supplements (yölisä) and weekend supplements (lauantai- ja sunnuntailisä), which provide similar compensation for other non-standard working times. The implementation and details of iltalisä are usually outlined in employment contracts or collective agreements governing the terms of employment.
