Never heard of this site but it seems like someone very unfamiliar with the countries talking about some tiny experiments as if they were the norm. > The Nordic nation has embraced agile working patterns for decades as the country adopted the Working Hours Pact in 1996, which gives most employees the right to adjust their typical working hours of their workplace by starting or finishing up to three hours earlier or later. This is also completely untrue. I guess they mean Working Hours Act which specifies no such thing.

Is it really untrue? Seems there is something to it, although maybe not unilateral right, but certainly there some language around flexibility up to 3 hours in the Act. Maybe some Finnish lawyers chip in here on the actual interpretation of this? Section 13. "Flexible working hours": "When working hours are flexible, the regular daily working hours shall be extended or reduced by a flexible period of no more than three hours." https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/docs/ELECTRONIC/46245/60791/F672726630/FIN46245%20English.pdf https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/docs/ELECTRONIC/46245/60791/F...

  Not a lawyer but I work in Finland. This is not a "right" of employees but sets the limits for what kind of flex-time agreements can legally be entered into. In many white-collar jobs people don't really care about the legal limits, and in fact the new law (in force since yesterday) allows for more flexible arrangements. https://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/2019/20190872#L4P13 https://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/2019/20190872#L4P13 (doesn't seem to be available in English at this time)
