töökoopia

A töökoopia is a concept in Estonian labor law referring to a copy of an employment contract. When an employer and employee enter into an employment contract, it is legally required that both parties receive an identical copy of the signed document. This ensures transparency and provides each party with a record of the agreed-upon terms and conditions of employment. The employer is responsible for providing the employee with their copy of the töökoopia. This document typically outlines essential details such as the employee's role, salary, working hours, place of work, and the duration of the employment. Having a physical or digital copy of the employment contract is crucial for both the employer and the employee as it serves as the primary reference point in case of any disputes or misunderstandings regarding the employment relationship. It also confirms the legal existence of the employment and the rights and obligations associated with it.
