yövuorolisän

Yövuorolisä is a term used in Finland to denote a supplementary payment for working night shifts. This type of compensation is a common practice in many countries, designed to recognize the increased difficulty and potential health impacts associated with working during nighttime hours. In Finland, the specific regulations and amounts of yövuorolisä can vary depending on the collective bargaining agreement applicable to the industry or workplace.

The purpose of yövuorolisä is to incentivize employees to undertake night work, which is often less desirable than daytime employment. It also serves as a form of compensation for the disruption to an individual's natural sleep-wake cycle and potential social life. The amount of the supplement is typically calculated as a percentage of the employee's regular hourly wage or as a fixed sum per hour worked during the designated night shift period.

The definition of what constitutes a "night shift" for the purpose of this supplement is also usually defined in the relevant agreements. Generally, it refers to work performed between certain hours, often starting in the evening and extending into the early morning. Employees working these shifts are entitled to receive this additional payment on top of their standard salary. The details of yövuorolisä are an important aspect of employment contracts and collective agreements in Finland, contributing to fair compensation for different working patterns.
