Supreme Court rules employer must offer overtime under Act 621/2010 for part-time tech workers.

The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that an employer must offer overtime work to a part-time technology employee under Section 5 of Chapter 2 of the Employment Contracts Act. The employee, working 37.5 hours weekly under a collective agreement deemed part-time, argued that additional work was required by law. The court held that the statutory obligation to offer overtime applies regardless of the collective agreement's classification of the role as part-time. Consequently, the employer's refusal to offer overtime was found unlawful, and the employee's claim was granted.
