työoikeuslain

Työoikeuslaki refers to Finnish labor law. It encompasses a broad range of legislation governing the relationship between employers and employees. Key aspects include collective bargaining agreements, individual employment contracts, working hours, holidays, and employee rights. The purpose of työoikeuslaki is to ensure fair and safe working conditions and to provide a framework for resolving disputes in the workplace.

Major pieces of legislation within työoikeuslaki include the Employment Contracts Act, which defines the terms and conditions of employment, and the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings, which outlines procedures for employee involvement in company decision-making. The law also addresses issues such as dismissal, discrimination, and occupational safety. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment are the primary government bodies responsible for labor law in Finland. Enforcement and interpretation are often handled by labor courts and other relevant authorities. The Finnish system emphasizes the importance of collective agreements negotiated by trade unions and employer organizations.
