työaikakorjauksista

Työaikakorjaukset are adjustments made to an employee's working hours. These can arise for various reasons, often related to overtime, compensatory time, or changes in the agreed-upon work schedule. In Finland, the legal framework governing working hours and potential adjustments is primarily found in the Työlaki (Working Hours Act).

Overtime work, for example, must be compensated either with increased pay or with equivalent time off in lieu. If an employee works beyond their standard daily or weekly hours, this constitutes overtime and can lead to a työaikakorjaus in the form of additional rest or financial remuneration, as stipulated by the employment contract or collective agreement.

Compensatory time off, or "vapaa-ajan korvaus," is another common scenario. This occurs when an employee works during a weekend or public holiday, or when additional hours are worked that are not classified as overtime but are nonetheless compensated with time off at a later date. The specific rules for when and how compensatory time can be taken are usually detailed in the relevant collective bargaining agreement or individual employment contract.

Changes to the regular work schedule, such as a temporary shift in working hours or a compressed workweek, also fall under the umbrella of työaikakorjaukset. These adjustments require clear communication and agreement between the employer and employee, respecting the regulations set forth by Finnish labor law to ensure fair working conditions. The accurate recording and processing of these adjustments are crucial for both employee rights and employer compliance.
