wages in finland

Post by lanshih » Fri Jan 14, 2005 1:16 pm

hei!

i'm the next one moving to finland. I'm going to tampere. Puhun vähän suomea... :wink:

i've been readin a lot here at the forum, it seems to me that the people who doesn't care too much on startin at a low level salary has mo' probability of success.

well, this is my case, as far as i'm not engineer, graduated in university (never went there), or a freelance designer...

in fact, i used to be a fotographer, but i realized i prefer work in a restaurant or hotel. and let art for my leisure time.

i've been in finland twice by now, and i love it. and i really want to try to live there, to check if i really fit there.

but at the moment i'm manager in a restaurant of a big pizza company in spain, but in finland i'll probably will have to start again washing dishes.

no problem.

but, i just wonder... how much is the minimun salary there? i've been reading here about 5 euros per hour. that makes 800 a month.
was it with or without taxes?

and, oh... thanks for all the info here... it's usefull!

Here is the restaurant union TES
http://www.finlex.fi/data/tes/stes822-P ... nt0302.pdf
It is nationally binding.

Dishwasher gets minimum ~1200 /mo and waiters something like ~1600 (before taxes).

Your best bet to start job is something like ravintolaextra. look in

Looks like the 'blokkari' (busboy) place in the restaurant Mikado is still open.

If he is from Spain he could do worst than try after a waiters [email protected] Spanish restaurant...

Can one obtain a waiters or even a busboy job at a restaurant such as this even if they don't speak the language? I would imagine that a strong level of Finnish would be required for any retail, food service jobs in Finland. Am I wrong?

Busboy really wouldn't. Depends if they're only blocking but really not that much. Remember, busboys aren't in a "service" profession (nor are waiters really) in Finland. They work for wages, not tips.
