Collective Agreement of the It Service Sector Finland
According to the new agreement, the evening and evening premium from 1.4.2020 is 0.72 per hour and the night and night premium is 1.33 euros per hour. The point values, minimum wages and basic hourly rates of the Protocol on Guards and Spot Cleaners will be increased accordingly on the same dates. YTN Collective Agreement of the COMPUTER Services Industry 2020-2021 The amendments made by the Working Time Act have been made to the entries of the daily rest period. The agreement stipulates: • The daily rest period may be temporarily reduced or temporary exceptions may be made in accordance with Article 25 of the Working Time Act. Technology Industries of Finland has already negotiated collective agreements in the technology sector, the information technology industry (IT services sector) and the consultancy sector. As unions representing workers, we cannot negotiate collective agreements if there is no one to bargain with. While less than half of the companies in the technology sector join the new employers` association, the collective agreement is no longer universally binding. Employees have the right to ask their employer whether the actual working hours correspond to their employment contract. PAM was looking for changes that would allow more employees currently working part-time to get more working time.
We have achieved this and, in the future, the situation of part-time workers will improve, both through their right in the agreement to review their working time and through the creation of a new working group in this area between WFP and the employers` association. • A part-time worker has the right, upon request and within a reasonable time, to check once a year with his employer whether his actual working time corresponds to the working time of his employment contract. The above verification does not have to take place if there is a corresponding legal obligation. • The associations will set up a working group to monitor possible legislative changes affecting part-time workers and to assess their impact on the labour relations of part-time workers. Once this is done, the working group will evaluate possible measures. PAM`s goal is for paid leave during the week to apply equally to all employees in the facilities services sector in the future. Work in the facility`s service space is increasingly being done at any time of the day and throughout the year, and it is therefore important that the compensation an employee receives for vacation during the week is consistent with this change. In developing the collective agreement, it is important for the parties to review the current situation in the working group and evaluate alternative models. • A working group will be set up to review and clarify the provisions of the collective agreement relating to compensation for public holidays during the week. This analysis should take into account all changes in the industry and the needs of client companies when expanding their service offerings. • The working group will consider other models for weekday holidays in the collective agreement.
• The working group will present an interim report on its work by 31.10.2020. The results of the working group should be available for joint assessment by the Parties by 31.10.2021. Thanks to the collective agreement, an employee in the industry is entitled, among other things, to three months of paid maternity leave, a salary for the care of a sick child and even military refresher courses. Although the collective agreement is comprehensive, it nevertheless offers a fairly wide possibility of reaching an agreement on the ground at company level. The numerical changes made to the article of the Working Time Act have been made to the entry. What the agreement says: An employee`s consent to overtime and overtime is set out in § 17 of the Working Time Act. Total wage increases of 3.3 per cent A total wage increase of 3.3 per cent was negotiated for the facilities services sector. Significantly, the salary increase is preferred, which means that the largest increase comes first. Wages in industry will increase by 2.0% compared to 1.4.2020.
Wages will increase by another 1.3% compared to 1.4.2021. Local negotiations or local negotiations refer to the agreed terms of employment in an individual company or workplace. The contractual partners are the employer and the staff representative representing the staff or all the staff. Local bargaining is based on the law or collective agreement. YTN`s collective agreements allow for fairly extensive local negotiations. According to the collective agreements currently in force, various clauses can also be agreed personally directly with the employee without a staff representative. The agreements therefore contain virtually no “locks of workers` representatives”, in which local collective bargaining is prevented by the fact that no employee representative is appointed. The numerical changes made to the article of the Working Time Act have been made to the entry. The salaries paid on Sundays will remain the same. What the agreement says: Wages that have been increased by 100% are paid to work on a Sunday or a religious holiday in accordance with Article 20 of the Working Time Act.
The collective agreement for the facilities services sector sets out the minimum standards to be applied in this sector, such as. B salary, hours of work, sickness benefits, vacation pay during the week, etc. The conditions are minimum conditions that employers must apply to all their employees. Work tasks in the area of facilities services include cleaning and hygiene, building management, technical services, construction services, landscaping services and related tasks. Salaries, payments and fees for custodians and households are included in an appendix to the collective agreement for employees in the facilities services sector. The Committee for the Confirmation of the General Applicability of Collective Agreements examines whether a national collective agreement is representative. The committee works in collaboration with the Department. In March, Technology Industries of Finland, which represents the employers` associations of many TEK members, announced that it would cease its collective bargaining activities and transfer this task to a newly formed employers` association this autumn. In practice, companies can choose to join the new association and be included in national collective bargaining.
While less than half of the companies in the sector join the new employers` association, collective agreements in the sectors are generally no longer binding. The Finnish forest industry also announced in October 2020 that it would withdraw completely from national collective bargaining. In addition to the provisions of the Employment Contract Act, rotating shiftwork can be used in the areas agreed in the collective agreement and agreed on the spot. Collective agreements negotiated by unions play a key role in whether we have the means, time and energy for family, friends, hobbies and other interests outside of work. The settlement agreed to in the 2018 mediation proposal has now been written into a separate section of the collective agreement. During the previous agreement period, local agreements were concluded in many companies for the payment of a waste premium. PAM provides stewards with training on local agreements in the workplace. What the agreement says: • The payment of a premium for bodily waste, i.e. for the cleaning of feces, vomit or blood inside, must be agreed on the spot. The parties have long shared the view that provisions relating to the work of guards and occasional cleaners should be removed from the collective agreement. They also share the view that termination of the Protocol should not lead to a decrease in the incomes of workers covered by the Protocol.
What does the agreement say: • The associations will set up a working group for the work of guards and occasional cleaners. The working group will review the provisions of the Protocol on the Work of Guards and Spot Cleaners and prepare the necessary measures and collective bargaining provisions to replace the Protocol with the Collective Agreement for Workers in the Building Services Sector. .
