... Finland was decades ahead of the curve, passing its initial Flexible Working Act in 1996. By 2020, the Working Hours Act expanded these rights, allowing full-time employees to choose when and where they work for at least half of their working hours. Finnish workers also receive a minimum of five weeks paid holiday per year, as well as 160 days of paid parental leave.
Interesting. A national law doubling the hours you clock on the job. So you work 40 hours a week and clock 80 hours a week.
There's a plumber who is always a plumber, evenings, nights, weekends, at church, he’s always a plumber no matter what, and then there's a plumber who clocks out at the end of the workday, and then he’s a husband and a father and a daily commuter.
And this is yet another country of long commutes and frequent police contacts where you have to take out a mortgage on your monthly income just to pay off a traffic ticket or a parking fine.
Unauthorized overtime much?
