Municipal organisations include municipalities, cities, joint municipal authorities and municipal-owned businesses.
For many, the most important thing at work is its importance to society. This significance is strongly present in public sector work. For example, nursing, education and infrastructure maintenance are areas where you don’t need much imagination to see that your work matters.
Other important elements are the diversity of tasks, stability and the opportunity for personal growth and development. Working for a public sector employer you can build a long career and advance within the field, from one field to another or to supervisory positions without a change of employer. In municipal organizations and wellbeing services counties there are thousands of different occupations around Finland.
The public sector is also less dependent than the private sector for economic cycles in the short term. Municipal organizations and wellbeing services counties are responsible employers that invest in employees' wellbeing and competence development by offering training, personnel activities and stable employment.
A person employed by a municipality or a municipal federation is hired for either an employment relationship or an employment contract. The main difference between an employment relationship and an employment contract is the nature of the legal relationship. The incumbent has a public law relationship with the employer, while the employee has a private law relationship. Tasks involving the exercise of official authority are performed on an employment relationship. Otherwise, the staff will be hired for an employment contract. In municipalities, personnel must have sufficient proficiency in Finnish and/or Swedish to perform their duties.
