työaikajärjestelyä

Työaikajärjestely is a Finnish term that translates to "working time arrangement" or "work time regulation." It encompasses the various ways in which an employee's working hours and days are structured within a company or organization. This can include standard full-time employment with fixed hours, flexible working arrangements, part-time work, compressed workweeks, and shift work. The specific regulations and common practices surrounding työaikajärjestely in Finland are often influenced by Finnish labor laws, collective bargaining agreements, and individual employment contracts.

Finnish legislation, particularly the Työlaki (Working Time Act), sets out fundamental rules regarding working hours, rest periods, and overtime. Employers are obligated to plan and manage working time in a way that ensures employee safety and well-being. Työaikajärjestely can be a tool for both employers to manage operational needs and for employees to achieve a better work-life balance. Flexible arrangements, for instance, might allow employees to choose their start and end times within certain parameters or to work remotely, provided the nature of the work allows it.

Common types of työaikajärjestely include päivätyö (daytime work), vuorotyö (shift work), and joustotyö (flexible working time). Collective agreements often detail specific arrangements for different industries and professions. The implementation of any työaikajärjestely requires clear communication and agreement between the employer and the employee, adhering to legal requirements and established best practices.
