lisävapaiksi

Lisävapaiksi is a Finnish term that translates to "additional days off" or "extra leave." It refers to any type of paid or unpaid leave that an employee receives beyond their statutory annual holiday entitlement. These additional days can be granted for various reasons, often at the discretion of the employer or as stipulated in collective bargaining agreements.

Common reasons for granting lisävapaiksi include rewarding long service, acknowledging exceptional performance, or providing flexibility for personal needs. Some employers might offer a few extra days as a benefit to attract and retain talent. In certain industries or union agreements, specific provisions for lisävapaiksi might exist, for example, following extensive overtime or during specific periods of the year.

The conditions for lisävapaiksi, such as eligibility, duration, and whether they are paid or unpaid, vary significantly depending on the employer's policies and any applicable labor laws or agreements. Employees are typically advised to check their employment contract, company policies, or relevant collective agreements to understand their entitlements regarding additional days off. It is a concept that allows for a degree of flexibility in work arrangements beyond the standard legal requirements.
