Signing a contract

[odsox87]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some info on signing work contracts here in Finland. I'm an EU citizen who has just moved to Finland and am currently in the process of getting a job contract sorted out. However, my potential employer is asking for my social security number which, as far as I was aware, I could only get *after* I signed the contract. Additionally, as the job is going to be part-time, are there any income requirements when applying for a residence permit? Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated

all the papers, ALL THE PAPERS

The brief version:
EU person gets first a work contract from the job. Written.
(If boss says no, needs a number first - tell boss to call the maistraatti and ask themselves what does the person need to get a number)

With the contract goes to the maistraatti and says: My job, no number, need registration.
Maistraatti gives a number on a paper saying "temporarily registered alien".
With two papers alien jumps in the ufo and flies to the tax office: verotoimisto ***
Says: my number, my salary, need tax card.
Gets tax card.
Goes to bank - says my number, my address, my job, gets bank account.
Gives tax card and personal number and bank account number to employer;
Works.
First salary comes to account, bank statement comes to home.
Takes work contract, magistrate paper, bank statement, rent contract... chorus: "all the papers": Goes to Police station with 40€. Says: I want EU registration. Gets EU registration paper.
Goes to Maistraatti, with... chorus "all the papers" : says: I am now EU registered, I want to be in the computer as permanantly domiciled. Gets a paper....
Goes to KELA, with... chorus *all the papers* ,says Want KELA card, gets a lot of grief...

Welcome to Finland. You have now all the papers

*** reportedly, it is these days you just need to go to the tax office to get this first round done; but the papers take a few days to process...


Remember: right papers, right order, right offices. Otherwise they say "piss off"...

Hi,

You can find employment contract info here: http://www.tyosuojelu.fi/fi/contract.

In case you have accepted the job offer already in written, it's normal that employer would ask your ID-number, as it's normally added to the employment contract. If you don't have ny yet, employer can naturally just use your birthday.

If you have not accepted any formal offers, then ask why your ID-number is required.
