työaikaedut

Työaikaedut refer to benefits related to working hours in Finland. These advantages can take various forms and are often negotiated within collective bargaining agreements or offered as part of an employer's compensation package. The primary aim of these benefits is to provide employees with greater flexibility and control over their work schedules, which can improve work-life balance and job satisfaction.

Common types of työaikaedut include flexible working hours, also known as flextime. This allows employees to choose their start and end times within certain parameters, provided core hours are covered. Another prevalent benefit is the possibility of remote work or telecommuting, enabling employees to work from home or another location outside the traditional office. Compressed workweeks, where employees work their standard weekly hours over fewer days, are also a form of työaikaetu. Some employers may also offer annual working time agreements, which involve accumulating or deducting working time over a longer period, leading to periods of extended leave. The availability and specifics of these benefits can vary significantly between different industries, companies, and employment contracts.
