Agreement with specific salaried employees. The employer and salaried employee may agree that compensation for overtime work shall be given by means of the salaried employee being paid a higher salary and/or more vacation days in addition to the number of statutory vacation days. Any such agreement may be made only with salaried employees in management positions and salaried employees whose working hours are difficult to verify or who have the freedom to schedule their working hours. If this is not the case, there must be special reasons for such an agreement.
Agreement with specific salaried employees. The employer and the salaried employee may agree that compensation for overtime work be given through the salaried employee instead receiving higher a higher salary and/or five or three days of annual leave in addition to statutory days of annual leave. Such agreements shall apply to salaried employees in executive positions or salaried employees with unregulated working time or with the freedom to schedule their own working time. In other cases there must be special grounds. If the employer instructs a full-time salaried employee to work on a non-working day, the salaried employee receives – compensation in the form of a rest period of 1.5 days for each such day of service – or, subject to agreement, cash compensation corresponding to 1/20 of the monthly salary for such a service day. This compensation includes holiday pay Compensatory rest periods shall be taken as close as possible to the time of service. If compensation for work on non-working days has not been provided within three months of the occasion of service, unless otherwise agreed the compensatory rest period shall be converted to cash compensation in accordance with the above. A part-time salaried employee’s salary is converted to a full-time salary when calculating the cash compensation. Remarks The working time worked should in principle be the same as for other groups of salaried employees in the organisation. The total number of working hours worked over a longer period should therefore be accommodated in normal working time. The employer and the salaried employee shall jointly plan the work in relation to the content, scope and orientation of the organisation. If either of the parties deem the requirement for work duties to be abnormal in relation to the working time, consultation shall take place. The above rule on special compensation in the third paragraph on service on otherwise non-working days does not apply to member organisations that were previously covered by KFO’s Non-profit organisation collective agreement area as at 31 December 2020. For compulsory work on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays or days stated in 12.1.1 to 12.1.2, local agreements on compensation may instead be made in the form of leave or cash compensation.
