🔹 Termination Trouble: What Every Employer in Finland Must Know

Letting someone go isn’t just a business call—it’s a legal procedure. In Finland, the rules are strict. And skipping a step can mean costly consequences.

✅ Here are 3 must-know legal basics before you terminate employment:
✔️ Legal Grounds Are a Must
You need a justified cause to terminate. Without it? Expect potential compensation claims.

✔️ Consultation Is Not Optional
Redundancy? The law requires mandatory consultation with employees. Skip it = legal exposure.

✔️ Timing Matters
Notice periods depend on the contract, collective agreements, and labor law. Get it wrong, and it could cost you.

💡 Too often, businesses fall into legal traps due to:
Vague procedures
Poor documentation
Emotional or rushed decisions

📉 Don’t let that be you. Protect your business—and your reputation.
