Problems with pay, working hours or working conditions? – Summer job helpline is open!
The Summer Job Helpline offers advice on matters related to summer employment. If anything concerns you about a summer job, don’t hesitate to contact Summer Job Helpline! The service will give urgently needed advice throughout the whole summer.
Although working life has changed in many ways over the years, the questions received by the Summer Job Helpline deal to a large extent with similar topics. People mostly ask for advice related to pay and working hours. Many people also get in touch about their trial period or certificate of employment.
You can ask questions in Finnish, Swedish and English. It is possible to do it even before starting a summer job. When an employee is familiar with their rights and obligations at the beginning of employment, possible problems can be avoided.All the questions are handled confidentially. If you wish, you can contact the service anonymously.
You can find further advice and guidance in the Summer job checklist and the Frequently asked questions. When problems arise you may also talk to more senior colleagues and workmates, your local shop steward or employee representative, or the trade union for the industry concerned.
