täysipäivätyö

Täysipäivätyö refers to full-time employment in Finland. It is generally understood as working the standard number of hours for a particular occupation or industry, typically around 40 hours per week, although this can vary. The exact definition of full-time work can be specified in employment contracts, collective agreements, or company policies.

Key aspects of täysipäivätyö include predictable working hours and a commitment to a primary employer. Full-time employees are usually entitled to full benefits, such as paid annual leave, sick pay, and social security contributions, in accordance with Finnish labor law and any applicable collective agreements. This contrasts with part-time employment (osa-aikatyö), where working hours are less than full-time.

The concept of täysipäivätyö is central to the Finnish labor market, providing a framework for stable employment and social security for a significant portion of the workforce. It allows individuals to plan their lives based on a regular income and a defined work schedule. While the standard is often around 40 hours, flexible working arrangements and variations exist within the broader understanding of full-time work.
