Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Termination of Employment Convention, 1982 (No. 158) - Finland (Ratification: 1992)

The Committee notes the Government's report and the information it contains in reply to its request, as well as the comments made by the Central Organization of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK) and the Finnish Confederation of Salaried Employees (STTK) transmitted with the report. It would be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report further information on the following points.

Article 2, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In its comments, the SAK notes that the State Civil Servants Act does not, in contrast to the Contracts of Employment Act, include any provision against repeated recourse to successive contracts for fixed periods of time. Please indicate whether guarantees have been provided against the use in the civil service of successive contracts for fixed periods of time, with a view to avoiding the protection arising from the Convention.

Parts IV and V of the report form. Please continue to provide the information required on the application in practice of the Convention.
