irtisanomistilanteissa

Irtisanomistilanteissa, a Finnish term, translates to "in situations of dismissal" or "during dismissals." It refers to the legal and practical circumstances surrounding an employee's termination of employment by an employer in Finland. This encompasses various aspects, including the grounds for dismissal, the procedures that must be followed, and the rights and obligations of both the employer and the employee.

Finnish employment law, primarily governed by the Employment Contracts Act, dictates specific requirements for dismissals. Employers must have a valid and weighty reason for dismissal, which can be personal (related to the employee's conduct or performance) or economic and production-related (due to changes in the company's operations or financial situation). There are also strict procedural rules, such as notice periods that vary based on the length of employment, and in some cases, a requirement for employers to consult with employee representatives before issuing a dismissal notice.

Employees, on the other hand, have rights during dismissal processes. They are entitled to receive a written termination notice detailing the reasons for dismissal and the notice period. They also have the right to challenge the dismissal if they believe it is unlawful or unfair, potentially leading to legal proceedings. The concept of irtisanomistilanteissa therefore highlights the regulated nature of employment termination in Finland, aiming to balance the employer's right to manage their workforce with the employee's right to job security and fair treatment.
