The terms of an employment contract must not be weaker than those agreed in the respective collective agreement. Conversely, a contract of employment may provide for better conditions of employment and employment than those provided for in the collective agreement. You can check with your employer or steward which collective agreement applies to your workplace. The Peace Accords Matrix (WFP) program, which works at the intersection of research and practice, is made up of researchers and practitioners who seek to promote and facilitate a higher order of integration between these fields. The WFP programme houses the largest existing collection of data on the implementation of national peace agreements, and WFP team members regularly provide research support for ongoing peace processes on issues related to the design and implementation of peace agreements. Collective agreements are mainly in Finnish.

A written contract is always preferable to an oral contract. One copy of the contract is for you and the other for your employer. According to the law, an employment contract is also valid, whether written, oral or electronic. However, an oral contract always carries the problem that over time it can be difficult to remember what was agreed or that the parties may remember things differently.
