June 2016
Law on posted employees amended
The new legislation on posted employees entered into force on 18 of June 2016. The amended new law is applied to foreign companies and it imposes new obligations to the companies posting employees temporarily to work in Finland. The law does not as such introduce new changes to the employment conditions of the posted employees. The major new requirement is that the foreign employer is obliged to report to the occupational safety and health authorities that the company is posting employees to Finland. Earlier, companies did not have such reporting liabilities. The notification requirement will enter into force during 2017. The law introduced also new penalty payments.
