toimitusvakauden

Toimitusvakauden refers to a period of time during which a salaried employee is placed on leave by an employer under certain circumstances. This leave is typically granted for a specific period, usually a fixed number of months, and is often tied to a specific condition or event.

In Finland, the concept of toimitusvakauden is often used in the employment law context. According to the Finnish Employment Contracts Act, an employer may place an employee on toimitusvakaus in certain cases, such as when the employee's home or workplace is being renovated, or when the employee needs to care for a family member.

During a toimitusvakaus, the employer is typically required to continue paying the employee their salary, which is known as "toimitusvakuutus". This compensation is usually paid for a limited period, often up to three months. The exact terms and conditions of toimitusvakaus can vary depending on the specific employment contract and the agreement between the employer and employee.

It's worth noting that toimitusvakaus is not the same as traditional vacation leave or sick leave. It is a type of leave that is specifically tied to a particular circumstance or event. Employees who are placed on toimitusvakaus are usually expected to continue performing their job duties remotely or at a different location.

Overall, toimitusvakaus is a type of leave that employers can grant employees in specific situations, allowing for temporary disruption to work arrangements while ensuring that employees continue to receive compensation for their lost work hours.
