# What are the rules on holiday, probation and notice in Finland?

Employees in Finland earn 2.5 days of holiday for each month worked, which adds up to 30 days a year after the first full year: 24 days in summer and 6 in winter.

A probation period can last up to 6 months, and either side can end it without notice, though never on discriminatory grounds. After that, the employer's notice period is 14 days for up to 1 year of service, rising to 6 months after 12 years. Employees give 14 days, or 1 month after 5 years. We set all of this up correctly in the contract.
