If the body which appointed the salaried employee to the po- sition has paid compensation for the loss of earnings for the duration of the employee’s absence from work, the share of this compensation is deducted from the wages paid by the employer.
4. A salaried employee elected to the board of Industri- al Union/Viestintäalan toimihenkilöt Grafinet is entitled to participate in the associations’ board meetings. No salary is paid for this time. The notification procedure is similar to that specified in section 2 above.
