Posting employees to Finland? - a notification duty enters into force as from September 1, 2017
A foreign company posting employees to Finland should notify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSH) in Finland. The reporting duty enters into force on the 1st of September 2017. The notification should be filed before the work in Finland commences. The reporting requirement applies if employees are posted by the same company to Finland for more than 5 days during the previous four months. In the construction sector the notification should always be filed. The notification should be filed electronically. The information required in the notification includes e.g. identifying details of the company (e.g. tax ID), contractor details, estimated number of the posted employees, identifying details of the representative in Finland, starting date and work location.
The failure to comply with the legislation (a reporting liability or an obligation to appoint a representative) may lead to sanctions, amounting to EUR 1,000-10,000. We would be happy to provide further information.
