Frequently asked questions

In Finland, overtime above 40 hours a week is paid at a statutory premium of 50%. Higher rates can apply for night, Sunday and public-holiday work. See the rules below for the exact figures.
Yes. In most EU countries a sector or company collective agreement can set overtime rates above the statutory minimum, or replace premium pay with compensatory time off. Always check the agreement that applies to your role.
