Working life guidebook

The working life guide is there to help you when you have questions or concerns related to your employment.

Welcome to working life in Finland

Our working life guide gives you practical tips and key facts about working in Finland’s social, health care, early childhood education and care and rehabilitation sectors. Learn about employment contracts, working hours, pay, holidays, and your rights at work.

If you cannot find an answer to your question in the guide, please contact your elected employee representative or Tehy's e-services.
