työvoimavälityslain

Työvoimavälityslaki refers to legislation governing employment agencies and labor exchange services in Finland. The primary purpose of this law is to regulate the operation of private employment agencies and to ensure fair practices in the labor market. It aims to protect both job seekers and employers by setting standards for recruitment, placement, and the provision of related services.

The law defines what constitutes an employment agency and outlines the requirements for obtaining a license to operate such a business. Licensed agencies must adhere to specific rules regarding transparency, non-discrimination, and the handling of personal data. They are prohibited from charging fees to job seekers for finding them employment. Instead, their revenue is typically derived from employers.

Furthermore, the työvoimavälityslaki addresses issues such as the information that must be provided to both parties involved in the placement process, the types of contracts that can be used, and the responsibilities of the agency in case of disputes. It also touches upon the ethical considerations and professional conduct expected from those working in the field of labor intermediation. The overarching goal is to foster a well-functioning and trustworthy labor market where employment agencies play a supportive role in connecting supply and demand for labor.
