työpanoksena

Työpanoksena is a Finnish term used in economic and administrative language to denote something provided as a labor input or contribution of work. The base noun, työpanos, means a contribution of labor or the amount of work contributed to a project, organization, or policy objective. The form työpanoksena is the translative case of this noun, typically used to express “as a labor input” or “in the form of work.” The expression appears in formal texts such as budgeting, project planning, and policy discussions, where resources or obligations can be accounted for in terms of work rather than money or capital.

Käyttö ja kontekstit

Työpanoksena can describe in-kind contributions of labor to a project, for example when volunteers or staff provide hours of work that count toward project costs. In that sense, it helps quantify non-monetary inputs in funding or governance arrangements. The term is common in bureaucratic or formal language, including grant criteria, municipal planning, and public sector reforms, where evaluating the total contribution to a project includes both cash and työpanos.
