Labour market and agreement system
The terms and conditions of working life are controlled by three factors: labour laws, collective agreements made by employer and employee organisations and agreements made locally at companies and workplaces.
Making an employment contract
Written employment contracts are an easy way to check what has been agreed on. Use this checklist to see what an employment contract should contain.
Occupational health and safety and well-being
The goal of well-being at work is to keep employees healthy and able to work throughout their careers.
Co-operation negotiations
Co-operation negotiations are used to discuss reasons possibly leading to notice of termination, lay-offs or the reduction of contracts to part-time contracts, their impacts and alternatives.
Unemployment security
JHL’s members are also members of the unemployment fund. When the conditions are met, the fund creates security in case of unemployment that is higher than the basic unemployment allowance.
