New guidelines bring clarity to agreeing on terms of employment relationships
Clear terms of the employment relationship are the foundation for well-functioning work.
The employer and employee organisations in the private social services sector have created together guidelines that help to understand important agreement types in the world of work and their terms and conditions and to consider the rights and obligations that the collective agreement and the law provide for each agreement type. The guidelines cover for example framework agreements, fixed-term employment contracts and part-time work.
These instructions have been prepared jointly by the Finnish Association of Private Care Providers (HALI), the Trade Union for the Public and Welfare Sectors JHL, the health and social services sector’s negotiation organisation Sote ry (SuPer, Tehy, and Erto), Talentia Union of Professional Social Workers, and social services sector alliance Sosiaalipalvelualan allianssi Salli ry (Jyty, Pro, and the Finnish Association of Public Health Nurses). The goal of this collaborative effort has been to provide practical and clear guidelines for those situations where terms of employment relationships are agreed.
