End of Employment 

When the employment ends 

Termination must be made in writing and in accordance with the applicable collective agreement and Finnish employment laws.

Termination by the employer 

If you as an employee or the employer want to terminate an employment, the termination process and applicable notice periods must be followed. Termination by the employer must be based on factual reasons, which may be a lack of work or conditions that pertain to the employee personally.

In the case of fixed-term employment, the main rule is that the employment ends when the agreed period is over.

The termination is effective from the day on which the termination was received. The notice period in case of termination, unless otherwise agreed in the employment contract, applies according to the collective agreement.

Resignation by the employee

You as an employee must submit a written notice of termination to your immediate supervisor.

The notice period for self-termination is below unless otherwise agreed in the employment contract.

Your last time with us / Termination day 

Before the last day of employment, all material belonging to the employer must be returned, such as keys/access cards, IT equipment, and credit cards. If you are unsure about what should be returned, check with your nearest manager.

All written and oral authorizations terminate automatically. All financial dealings such as salary, holiday pay, credit cards, loans, and car contracts must be settled before resignation.

All relevant functions such as the payroll office and reception must be informed of the last day of work.
