Terms and conditions of employment relationships

The legal status of civil servants is laid down in the State Civil Servants Act and the related decree, and the legal status of personnel on an ordinary employment contract is covered by the Employment Contracts Act. The Act on Collective Agreements for State Civil Servants covers collective agreements on terms and conditions of service for civil servants, while the Collective Agreements Act does the same for personnel on an ordinary employment contract.

In addition to this, negotiation procedures in respect of civil servants have been agreed in the main collective agreement for civil servants. Under the system of negotiation and collective agreement for central government, the terms and conditions of employment relationships for civil servants and employees under contract are agreed in the Collective Agreement for State Civil Servants and Employees Under Contract at central level and in separate collective agreements for civil servants and employees under contract at agency level.

Information about central terms and conditions of employment relationships can be found on these pages. Collective agreements on the terms and conditions of employment relationships are found under the Documents for personnel management, where all state personnel management documents are found.
