1. Depends on your field and It’s collective labor agreement

2. Your collective labour agreement says this : “An hourly paid worker has the right to compensation for midweek holidays when the employment has lasted at least three months before the midweek holiday in question and the midweek holiday would have been a working day on his working schedule, when he would have been entitled to be paid for working. In the case of Independence Day the requirement for prior duration of employment is six working days. ” ( https://tes.pam.fi/collective-labour-agreement-for-the-facilities-services-sector-1-march-2023-31-march-2025/?_gl=1*12ra77h*_ga*MTkwMjYzNjczMS4xNzE0MDMxMDEx*_ga_89BTBQFVVH*MTcxNDAzMTAxMS4xLjEuMTcxNDAzMTE5Ni4zOS4wLjA.#doc-1hc29dmlq04651)

4. Typically, you would get double pay, but it indeed does depend on the collective labour agreement. You could ask your company’s employee representative about it. If you don’t know about it, you can ask your manager if they have one. If not, I would ask the occupational safety representative, which is mandatory to have in companies with >10 regularly working employees.

5. This is PAM’s agreement so if your contract follows that (which I guess it does) and you’re paid by the hour (which I guess most are), looks right to me:
   “Tuntipalkkaisella työntekijällä on oikeus arkipyhäkorvaukseen silloin, kun työntekijän työsuhde on kestänyt vähintään 3 kuukautta ennen ko. arkipyhää ja arkipyhä olisi ollut hänen työvuoroluettelonsa mukainen työpäivä, jolta hän olisi ollut oikeutettu saamaan työstä maksettua palkkaa. Itsenäisyyspäivän osalta työsuhteen kestoedellytys on 6 päivää.”

   No idea where the English version is but surely mr. Google Translate will help if needed 🙂

6. Google translation from the citation from cleaners collective agreement: “An hourly employee is entitled to weekday compensation when the employee’s employment has lasted at least 3 months before the said a public holiday and the public holiday would have been a working day according to his shift list, on which he would have been entitled to receive the salary paid for the work. Regarding Independence Day, the duration of the employment relationship is 6 days.”

7. That 3 months is a bullshit rule.

   The just circulate new workers to cover those holidays in order to avoid holiday extra.

   Ya’ll should strike just for that.

8. He said if you dont go to work you dont get nothing. So you get something. Double negative means double salary

   /s

9. Do not work in Finland. Its shit country these days they try to cheat you every way you can imagine. Move somewhere where they RESPECT the workers.

10. The shit? What is this 3 month rule.

    You should be getting paid double for working on arkipyhä?? (Has this changed?) Atleast that’s how it was when in worked in service industry.

11. By your collective labour agreement it seems you do not get pay forarkipyhät until you’ve been employed for 3 months.

12. That fucking smiley is just unprofessional….

13. If your contract is under PAM you can always email them, they usually are really helpful with contract stuff since it’s their thing and most probably can help you in english.

14. You getting fucked. Double pay on holidays is for everyone, even if it would be your first shift ever.
