In Finland, employment legislation is mostly mandatory law. Nevertheless, employers can deviate from these provisions by employer-specific agreements to the extent permitted by law. These possibilities are currently being extended.
We assist employers in negotiating and concluding employer-specific agreements. Our experts have an excellent understanding of how the labour market works. We have represented numerous employers and employer federations in demanding contract negotiations with the aim of reaching a local agreement.
We offer both legal and practical perspectives on bargaining. At best, well-managed local negotiations can leverage strategic business objectives and increase employee engagement.
We can help you with all matters relating to employer-specific agreements, such as:
- Assessing the exit from the nationwide collective agreement
- Assessing the suitability of an employer-specific agreement for the employer’s needs
- Ensuring the legality of the employer-specific agreement
- Drawing up an employer-specific agreement
- Participating in contract negotiations
