Answering all your questions about independent contractor agreements in Finland

You probably have questions. We’re here to answer them. Below, you’ll learn all the extra stuff you should probably know before putting together an independent contractor agreement for Finland.

Why do I need an independent contractor agreement in Finland?

Starting a new remote business relationship can be overwhelming. But one thing you should never skip is putting together a written independent contractor agreement. It's a safeguard for both you and your contractor, ensuring that everyone is on the same page about important terms of your working relationship.

What do contractor agreements in Finland typically need to have?

Every contractor agreement in Finland (and, the rest of the world) can be broken up into two parts:

  • Contract-specific variables: This includes things like scope of work, rate, and deadline. They’re the project-specific variables that you’ll include with each contract, and are totally dependent on what type of work you’re hiring a contractor to do.
  • Everything else: Besides things like scope and deadline, every independent contractor agreement in Finland should follow a similar structure. If you want to grab your own contract with a compliant structure for Finland, sign up to Thera
What makes contractors different from employees in Finland?

Contractors and employees are very different types of workers, and that’s not different in Finland than in any other world country. Business owners can often confuse them, but misclassifying your remote talent can lead to trouble. Hiring a remote contractor is becoming more and more popular because the onboarding process is super easy compared to the onboarding of an employee—it’s quick, costs less, and it leads to way more flexible relationships.

Here are a few of the key things that make contractors different from employees in Finland:

  • Contractors can set their own schedules
  • Contractors can work with their own software and tools 
  • Contractors can work for other clients 
  • Contractors rarely receive benefits, like health insurance*

*With Thera, you can get your contractors access to sign up for premium global health insurance, from SafetyWing, at a 50% discount.
