Pace is ramping up in the negotiations of the private social services sector – solutions are sought until the end of the year

12.12.2025

The negotiation schedule of the private social services sector is getting increasingly intensive towards the end of the year. Next week, the negotiations move to the next phase when the parties start to discuss pay system and pay increase objectives.

The current collective agreement for the private social services sector is effective until the end of this year, and a new agreement will be negotiated until the very end of December.

During the autumn, the negotiators have discussed the employee and employer parties’ objectives regarding the agreement text. The final compilation and recap of these objectives will be done in the beginning of next week. After that, the negotiations move to pay system and pay increase objectives.

The current agreement period ends on 31 December, after which the sector enters a period without agreement. The negotiations can continue also after New Year if the talks seem to be making progress.

Employees are represented in this agreement by Trade Union JHL, health and social services sector’s negotiation organisation Sote, Talentia Union of Professional Social Workers, and social services sector alliance Salli. Employers are represented by the Finnish Association of Private Care Providers (Hali).

There are thousands of workplaces that produce services of this sector in Finland. Employees of this sector work for example in assisted living and nursing homes for the elderly, housing services for people with disabilities, mother-and-child homes, shelters, substance abuse services, child protection, and as personal assistants.
