työaikakorjaus

Työaikakorjaus, often translated as working time adjustment or time correction, is a concept primarily used in Finnish labor law and workplace practices. It refers to the process of adjusting an employee's recorded working hours. This can occur for various reasons, such as correcting errors in time tracking, accounting for approved absences like sick leave or vacation, or when actual working hours deviate from scheduled hours due to overtime or flexible working arrangements.

The purpose of työaikakorjaus is to ensure accurate payroll processing and to maintain a fair record of hours worked. It is a common administrative procedure in companies that utilize timekeeping systems. The specific rules and procedures for työaikakorjaus can vary depending on the employment contract, collective bargaining agreements, and company policies. Generally, any corrections to recorded working time should be agreed upon by both the employee and the employer, or at least transparently communicated to the employee. The goal is to reflect the true working time and to prevent discrepancies that could affect salary, benefits, or legal compliance. This ensures that employees are compensated correctly for all their work and that the employer has an accurate overview of labor costs.
