Hi!
I'm having the next situation:
I took 2 weeks off for Easter which were not part of my Talviloma, just days off (henkilökohtainen, for which I don't get any salary). During that period there are 2 official holiday days: Pitkäperjantai and Pääsiäispäivä. Is it possible that I don't get paid for those 2 days if I was off.
Hope somebody has an answer for this.
Kiitos.

Re: Holidays pay
I don't a scripture to quote here, but while I understand it may sound unfair, I think it probably is so.
Let's put this way: should you get paid for those days if you had been away the whole month of April?
While you have a nominal hourly salary, typically it does not really work precisely that way, like one's monthly salary does not vary based on number of days and public holidays in a month.

Re: Holidays pay
First of all, thanks for your reply.
I forgot to mention that I get paid per hours. Meaning that if one day I don't work, I get 0€ for that day = day off.
I've been told about the next situation, according to the law, which happens very often:
somebody is enjoying summer holidays (kesäloma ex. 24 working days). Juhannus is within that period. This day doesn't take 1 day from your holidays. That means that you get paid for this extra holiday day: 24 days + Juhannus. Otherwise you are losing one holiday day pay.
So, here is my question:
Is the situation the same if I'm just off, instead of on official (paid) holidays?
Hope it's clear enough.

Re: Holidays pay
Well, it seems that common sense has taken part in this issue and... I finally got paid!
Just a "small" misunderstanding of the employer with the law.
