Rules and regulations in working life
An employment contract is an important contract. It is an agreement between the employer and employee on working and the salary paid for it.
Employment contracts are bound by laws and agreements between the labour market social partners. A salary cannot be lower than what is stated in the sector-specific collective agreement binding on the employer. If the sector does not have an agreement, the terms and conditions are governed by law.
Employers need the personal data of their employees in order to pay wages, insurances and so on. Collecting and processing this data is bound by laws on privacy protection.
Gender discrimination is prohibited in working life. Gender equality and improving it in working life are covered by the Act on Equality between Women and Men.
