Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. In Finland, there are several holidays associated with Easter, but the question of whether these holidays are paid depends on several factors, such as the employment contract, the collective agreement and the employer’s practices.<\/p>\n
In Finland, there are two official holidays associated with Easter: Good Friday and Easter Monday (Easter Monday). In addition to these, the Easter weekend includes Saturday and Sunday, which are normally days off for most employees.<\/p>\n
Most collective agreements (TES) have provisions on how public holidays such as Easter are treated. In general, Good Friday and Easter Monday are paid holidays if they fall on the employee’s normal working day. This means that the employee receives a normal salary for these days, even if he does not work.<\/p>\n
In some cases, employees may have to work on public holidays. In this case, they are usually paid an increased salary. For example, the collective agreement in the trade sector has regulations on holiday work compensation, which can be up to double the normal salary.<\/p>\n
The employment contract can also separately agree on pay on public holidays. If there is no mention of public holidays in the employment contract, the industry’s collective agreement or general practices are usually followed.<\/p>\n
Easter is a paid holiday in Finland for most employees, especially Good Friday and Easter Monday. However, the salary depends on the employment contract and the collective agreement. If an employee has to work on a public holiday, he is usually paid an increased salary.<\/p>\n
