päiväpalkkaiseen

Päiväpalkkainen is a Finnish term that translates to "daily wage" or "paid by the day" in English. It describes a type of employment where a worker is compensated for each day they work, rather than receiving a fixed salary for a longer period like a week or month. This form of payment is common in certain sectors, particularly in manual labor, temporary positions, and seasonal work.

Workers on a päiväpalkkainen basis typically receive a set amount of money for a full day's work. The exact daily wage can vary significantly depending on the industry, the specific job duties, the worker's experience, and the geographic location within Finland. Often, agreements regarding daily wages are made between the employer and the employee, or they may be influenced by collective bargaining agreements in place for particular industries.

This payment method can offer flexibility for both employers and employees. Employers may find it advantageous for projects with uncertain durations or fluctuating labor needs. For workers, it can provide an opportunity to earn income on a short-term or irregular basis. However, it's important to note that benefits such as paid holidays, sick pay, and pension contributions may be structured differently for daily wage earners compared to salaried employees, and these details are usually outlined in the employment contract or relevant agreements.
