palkkioissa

Palkkioissa is a Finnish grammatical form meaning in the rewards or compensation packages. It is the inessive plural form of the noun palkkio, which refers to a payment, reward, or remuneration granted for work, achievement, or contest success. In discourse, palkkioissa points to the state or location “inside” multiple rewards or components of compensation.

Morphology and usage notes: palkkio is declined like a standard Finnish noun with a stem ending in -io. The singular inessive is palkkiossa, and the plural inessive is palkkioissa. The term is commonly used in formal or technical text, such as human resources documents, contract clauses, and discussion of compensation schemes, contest prize structures, or research on incentives. It can pair with modifiers describing the composition of compensation, for example kiinteä osa palkkioissa or tulospalkkio osa palkkioissa.

Semantic considerations: palkkioissa emphasizes the inside of a system of rewards rather than a single payment. It can refer to several components of pay, such as base salary, bonuses, and incentive payments, or to the distribution of prizes within a competition. The plural form often appears when comparing multiple reward structures or discussing how different elements contribute to overall compensation.

Examples:

- Kilpailun palkkioissa on kolme tasoa: suurin, keskitaso ja pienin.

- Palkkioissa on sekä kiinteä osa että tulospalkkio, ja niiden jakautuminen määritellään yhdessä työnantajan kanssa.
