I just had verbal confirmation of a part-time position in a kitchen of a catering company. Can anyone share with me what is the range that part-timers get paid in kitchens?
If you know how much a waiter, cook, hotel housekeeper or marketing personnel gets per hour do share with me as well thanks! I've been having difficulty locating such information online (in English).
Also, does anyone have a link to a sample of Finnish employment contract or work agreement documents? Just to get a mental picture of of the typical terms found in one thanks and kind regards...
In simple terms there are "National agreed collective agreements found in finlex.fi.
Then you have union type collective agreements that might offer more but not less than the "national agreed collective agreements.
Then with in a collective agreement can be local agreement options that will offer more details.
You could be working in an environment that has local options that are better than the national agreed version.
By the law, your contract must give the exact reference to a "National agreed collective agreement or the Union variant (if any changes are there).
Thats the easy part. When you talk business here , first you need to set the landscape by having knowledge of the Collective agreement your working in.
This is true for all forms of business from the High roller exec , down to the "wandering immigrant cleaner with a mobile phone glued to their face".
So when you talk employment and no contract is on the table , ask them for the collective agreement name at first , search through it to see where the collective agreement has listed you, by "listed" i mean your equivalent POSITION.
With collective agreement knowledge you are supposed to have bargaining power against being undervalued.But it doesnt work like that!
If your not a superstar you will be boxed in, so expect that your value will be negotiated as the standard agreement suggests or 1 level below standard.
Local agreements are really hard to determine unless your employer adds them as data to your contract, or as many have done, get in the face of your employer.
Pam is informative and is usually the union that overseas wandering immigrants.

BTW those pam collective agreements are formed from finlex.fi "nationally agreed" versions.
Contracts can be simple or rather detailed but they must always carry
persons details
company details
how you get paid
working hrs
collective agreement
holiday pay info
