TOLERABLE WORKDAYS
In Finland law says that maximum time for a workday is 8 hours and for a week 40
hours. If you do overtime, you are paid for more money. You also have breaks during
the workdays, for example lunchbreak.
MATERNITY HOLIDAY
When the maternity holiday begins, you get money from Kela for four months. It can
begin 30-50 weekdays before the calculated time. You have had to belong to
Finland’s social security at least 180 days.
PARENTAL HOLIDAY
Parental holiday begins after the maternity holiday. Also then, Kela gives you
parental money about 6 months until the child is 9 months old.
PARTICAL CARE ALLOWANCE
If you have small schoolkids, you can do max. 30 hours of work per week and have
partical care allowance from Kela.
ACTIVE ENOUGH
Not too long and not too rough workdays but still active working and good results.
