UPDATED SEP 23, 2026👋 Welcome to Toku. We are your point of contact for employment support in Finland. Continue using Toku to submit information, manage requests and access your documents. Your day-to-day work, goals and role direction continue to come from the organization you support.
ℹ️ Country-specific processes: Kenya, Finland, Vietnam, Serbia and Argentina. These guides provide general information. Additional or different steps may apply, and Toku will work with you directly to confirm the requirements for your situation. Continue submitting information and requests through Toku. Toku cannot offer or arrange Toku-sponsored benefits in these countries. Your applicable statutory entitlements and individual employment terms remain subject to local requirements and your signed agreement.
Your employment at a glance
| Item | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Currency | Euro (EUR) |
| Payroll cycle | Monthly. Toku runs one payroll per month in Finland. |
| Standard working week | 40 hours (37.5 under many collective agreements) |
| Probation period | Up to 6 months, set in the employment agreement |
| Annual leave | Up to 30 days (24 days in the first year) |
📄 Your signed employment agreement governs your individual terms, including pay, working hours, probation, notice, and any custom arrangements. Mandatory local law also applies. If this guide and your agreement appear different, contact Toku before relying on the summary.
Pay schedule and payroll changes
Payroll is monthly. Toku will confirm your applicable pay date and deadline for payroll changes directly. Keep your information and requests up to date in Toku and contact payroll@toku.com if you need to confirm a date.
You will receive a payslip for each payroll cycle showing your gross pay, required deductions, and net pay. Keep your bank, tax, and personal information current in Toku, and notify us promptly if anything changes.
Your employment terms and probation
- Toku coordinates the agreement process and will confirm how to complete any required signatures. Your signed agreement sets out your employer details and individual terms.
- Indefinite-term contracts are the default. Fixed-term contracts need a justified reason (such as a project or substitute arrangement); repeated fixed terms without justification convert to indefinite-term.
- Probation can be agreed for up to 6 months and is set in the employment agreement. During probation, either party may end the contract without notice, provided the grounds are not discriminatory or improper.
Working hours and overtime
Your normal working hours are stated in your signed employment agreement and may vary by role, schedule, or applicable collective agreement. Toku does not expect routine overtime. Do not work overtime or additional hours unless your manager has approved them in advance. Any overtime or additional-hours treatment follows your signed agreement and mandatory local law.
Leave entitlements
| Leave | Entitlement | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| Annual leave (first year) | 2 days per qualifying month, up to 24 days, at full pay | Employer |
| Annual leave (after first year) | 2.5 days per qualifying month, up to 30 days, at full pay | Employer |
| Holiday bonus | 50% of holiday pay, per collective agreement | Employer |
| Sick leave | Day of illness plus 9 days paid by employer, then Kela sickness allowance (about 70% of income) | Employer, then Kela |
| Maternity leave | 40 working days at about 70% of income | Kela |
| Parental leave | 320 days shared between parents (160 each, 63 transferable) at about 70% of income | Kela |
| Childcare leave | Until the child turns 3, with a flat home care allowance | Kela |
| Study leave | Up to 2 years per 5-year period after 12 months of service, unpaid | N/A |
The holiday accrual year runs from 1 April to 31 March, with the main summer holiday usually taken between May and September. Parental leave is funded by Kela (the national social insurance institution), so it adds no direct salary cost to you.
ℹ️ Your employment agreement, Toku HRIS leave balance, and applicable local rules determine your exact entitlement. Contact Toku if the information shown in your account does not match your agreement or this guide.

Statutory benefits
Statutory : earnings-related pension (TyEL), national health insurance through Kela (medical care, sickness and parental allowances), unemployment insurance, and occupational accident insurance. Employers must also provide occupational healthcare covering at minimum preventive care, and most extend it to general practitioner and specialist visits.
Additional Toku benefits
Toku cannot offer or arrange Toku-sponsored benefits in Finland. We will work with you directly on any applicable local arrangements and provide the instructions relevant to you. Do not use Toku's standard benefit enrollment forms.
Stablecoin payroll and token grants
Contact Toku before relying on any token or stablecoin option. Availability for your employment arrangement must be confirmed individually; do not assume the standard Toku payroll options apply. Use Toku: Contact our Team for Support! for support.
Annual tax documents
Your pre-completed tax return is issued by the Finnish Tax Administration (Vero) in MyTax, currently by the end of March following the tax year. Payroll information flows from the Incomes Register into that return. This is a government-issued record, so access it in MyTax rather than wait for an annual tax form in Toku Documents. Check your individual return for the deadline to review or correct it. If you need an employer-issued income statement, contact payroll@toku.com; any statement Toku issues will be uploaded to Documents. See Vero's current tax-return guidance.
Leaving Toku: resigning
Giving notice
Send a formal resignation letter to Toku, by uploading it to your Toku Documents or emailing customer-success@toku.com. Notify your manager too, and follow your signed employment agreement's notice period and any local signature or delivery requirements. Toku will help confirm the employment end date and any additional formalities.
Documents and final payroll
Toku will confirm your offboarding documents, signing method and final-pay steps directly. Follow the instructions provided for your case; copies of completed employment documents will be stored in Documents in Toku.
Country documents: You are entitled to a written certificate of employment on request, issued without undue delay. The standard certificate confirms employment dates and duties. A reason for leaving or assessment of your skills and conduct is included only if you expressly request it; a recommendation is not sent automatically. See Finnish occupational safety and health guidance.
Benefits when you leave
Toku cannot arrange Toku-sponsored benefits in Finland. If any local coverage applies to your employment, we will help clarify the relevant contact, coverage end date and required actions. Do not assume that coverage ends on your final working day or continues automatically.
Your Toku account
You will retain access to your Toku account and employment documents after leaving. For help updating your email, resetting your password, or changing 2FA, email customer-success@toku.com.
