keskeytysaikalisä

Keskeytysaikalisä, a Finnish term, translates to "interruption allowance" or "waiting time allowance" in English. It refers to a compensation mechanism designed for situations where an individual's work is interrupted or delayed through no fault of their own. This typically occurs in fields where a worker's task is dependent on the completion or availability of another party or process.

The concept is particularly relevant in industrial settings, construction, and service industries where schedules can be fluid. For instance, a mechanic might be waiting for a part to arrive, or a construction crew might be delayed due to a prior stage of the project not being finished on time. In such scenarios, the keskeytysaikalisä ensures that the employee is compensated for the time spent waiting, rather than losing income due to external factors.

The specific regulations and conditions for entitlement to keskeytysaikalisä are usually detailed in employment contracts, collective bargaining agreements, or relevant labor laws within Finland. These agreements often stipulate the duration for which the allowance is payable, the rate of compensation, and the circumstances under which it applies. It is a measure aimed at ensuring fair remuneration and protecting workers from financial hardship caused by unforeseen disruptions to their work.
