Finland Notice Period Calculator (Irtisanomisaika)
Work out the Finnish notice period (irtisanomisaika): 14 days to 6 months for the employer and 14 days or 1 month for the employee, with the last day.
A collective agreement (TES) or your contract can set other periods, up to 6 months. If the employer does not respect the notice period, it must pay full salary for that time. During a trial period there is no notice.
What it does
Under chapter 6, section 3 of the Finnish Employment Contracts Act (työsopimuslaki) the employer's notice period is 14 days if the employment has lasted up to 1 year, 1 month for 1–4 years, 2 months for 4–8 years, 4 months for 8–12 years and 6 months after 12 years. The employee gives 14 days' notice up to 5 years and 1 month after that.
How to use it
- Choose who gives notice and type the start of employment.
- Type the day notice is given.
- Read the notice period and the last day.
