kehyssopimukseen

Kehyssopimukseen refers to a legal agreement between a company and its employees, typically used in Finland. The term is derived from the Finnish words "kehys" meaning "framework" and "sopimus" meaning "agreement." Kehyssopimukseen is a collective agreement that outlines the basic terms and conditions of employment for a specific group of employees within a company. It covers areas such as wages, working hours, vacation time, and other benefits. The agreement is binding on both the employer and the employees, and it serves as a foundation for any subsequent individual employment contracts.

The purpose of a kehyssopimukseen is to provide a clear and consistent framework for employment, ensuring fairness and predictability for both employers and employees. It helps to prevent disputes and conflicts by establishing common ground on key employment issues. The agreement can be negotiated between the employer and the employees' representative, such as a trade union, or it can be imposed by a collective bargaining agreement at the industry or sector level.

Kehyssopimukseen is not a legally binding contract in the same way as an individual employment contract. Instead, it serves as a guideline that individual contracts should adhere to. If there is a conflict between the terms of a kehyssopimukseen and an individual contract, the terms of the individual contract will generally prevail. However, the kehyssopimukseen can still influence the negotiation of individual contracts and provide a basis for resolving disputes.

In Finland, kehyssopimukseen is a common practice in many industries, including manufacturing, services, and public sector organizations. It is an important tool for promoting social dialogue and ensuring a fair and equitable workplace. The agreement can be renewed or modified as needed to reflect changes in the company, the industry, or the legal environment.
