Trade Union JHL's most important task is to negotiate its members' terms and conditions of employment. Collective agreements determine pay, working hours, the right to annual holiday, and sick-time pay, among other things.
Public sector
Collective agreements for the public sectors apply to people working for municipalities, for the Finnish state and in the church sector.
Private sector
The collective agreements for private sectors determine the terms and conditions of employment in municipal and state companies and enterprises, associations and foundations and in many social services sector companies, among others. Also a private individual, such as the employer of a personal assistant, may act as an employer.
Health and social services sector agreement (SOTE agreement)
Practical nurses and registered nurses, JHL is the #SOTEunion for you! We conclude the SOTE agreement which determines your pay, holidays and other terms and conditions of your employment.
Private social services sector
Practical nurses, children’s nurses, child and youth welfare workers: JHL takes care of your pay and other terms and conditions of your employment. The collective agreement for the private social services sector is a generally binding agreement, meaning that its provisions also concern non-organised employers.
National collective agreement for personal assistants
The collective agreement lays down the minimum conditions observed in the employment of disabled persons’ personal assistants when the employer is the disabled person him-/herself.
