lisätunteihin

Lisätunnit, meaning "additional hours" in Finnish, commonly refers to extra work hours undertaken by an employee beyond their standard contracted working time. This can take various forms, including overtime, working on days off, or extending the duration of a normal workday. The specifics of lisätunnit are often detailed in employment contracts or collective bargaining agreements, outlining conditions for payment, limits, and any necessary approval processes.

Payment for lisätunnit typically involves a premium rate, often a percentage increase over the regular hourly wage, as mandated by labor laws or agreements. The purpose of lisätunnit can vary, ranging from meeting urgent deadlines, covering for absent colleagues, or handling unexpected surges in workload. While providing flexibility for employers and potentially increased income for employees, excessive lisätunnit can lead to issues such as employee burnout, reduced productivity, and potential health concerns. Finnish labor legislation aims to regulate and protect employees' rights concerning additional work hours, ensuring fair compensation and preventing unreasonable demands.
