Common use of Working abroad Clause in Contracts

Working abroad. 1 General provisions The terms and conditions of work pertaining to work-related travel abroad shall be agreed between the employer and the employee before travel takes place. These terms and conditions should be set out in writing in a manner that essentially corresponds to the terms and condi- tions governing similar work performed in Finland. The federations may separately agree on terms and conditions of project work that differ from the regulations of this Section, where such agreement is warranted by the longer duration and scope of such work performed abroad, or by an unusually large number of employees involved therein or other details pertaining thereto. The employee shall not be sent on an assignment abroad without the employee’s consent unless the employment contract concluded with the employee also requires travel abroad or the employee’s normal duties have previously included such travel, or unless the assignment is urgent for reasons of production technology. The Parties affirm that a recommendation has been formulated between the federations con- cerning the points that must be agreed or otherwise clarified as required when departing on an assignment abroad.
