Employees in Finland are entitled to five weeks (25 days) of paid vacation leave. This leave is accumulated over time, with one month of employment generally earning an employee 2.5 days. In some cases, CBAs mean the number of vacation days can be significantly higher.
Employers in Finland are required to pay employees who are off work with sickness. The amount of coverage depends on the length of employment. For employees of more than one month, employers must pay up to nine days of sick leave at full pay. For employees of less than one month, employers only need to cover half of normal pay.
Parents in Finland can both take paid parental leave. Maternity leave is 105 days, and paternal leave is 54 days, and there is another 158-day allowance that can be shared between parents. Payments during parental leave are paid by the government, not employers.
In 2021, the law is changing to give parents of any gender an equal right to parental leave.
Finland has a high-quality public healthcare system, so employers are not expected to provide private health insurance as part of their benefits packages.
The length of notice period required for terminations in Finland depends on length of employment. For employers who have been employed for less than five years, 14 days of notice must be given. For employees of more than five years, the mandatory notice is one month.
Notice periods can also vary dependent on CBAs that might be in place for specific roles, industries, and companies.
Navigating employee terminations and handling severance packages can be complicated for companies expanding overseas for the first time. Horizons’ Finland EOR can mitigate risk for foreign companies and provide guidance through this process.
There is no legally defined minimum wage in Finland, and the minimums depend on negotiations and CBAs in specific roles and industries. For this reason, it is important that any employer is familiar with the up-to-date norms for their situation.
| Minimum Wage Country Comparison Chart | (Per month in USD) |
| Switzerland (Geneva) | $4,000 |
| Italy | $2,255 |
| Australia | $1996 |
| Algeria | $156 |
| Uzbekistan | $22 |
Setting up a benefits system for your Finnish employees can be difficult and complicated to navigate if you are unfamiliar with the country and its labor laws. If you want to tackle the setup independently, you can expect it to take several weeks and potentially present delays to your expansion process.
Horizons offer an alternative to simplify your Finland EOR & benefits management. Our outsourcing services will cover your benefit setup and management, helping you focus on a faster and more successful expansion.
