Finally good news
Thats gonna sting in the taxes.
Then wolt should employ these people as its not ”real” entrepreneurship.
The landscape of deliveries might change.
Some people who have their legs in — do not always work themselves. They rent out their account to same-country fellows.
Overall, I avoid home delivery through food aggregators. Food is destroyed cold, and the bag’s handles smell bad, so couriers don’t keep their hands clean, obviously unfollowing food processing rules.
If I really want a delivery, I order directly from family-owned places that drive their orders. They are responsible and do not drive 60 km/h inside our residential area using pedestrian roads.
Correct decision. Finland needs qualified workers and specialists. Importing people outside Finland for courier work is ridiculous. We have enough unemployed people in Finland and can do the wolt work. Many people cannot even get wolt courier accounts because of this “grouping” that they are holding. Finally great news! Well done to the court.
The problem with Wolt is that it was never intended to be someones full time job. The same with Uber. Just a side hustle.
They chose that themselves. They were literally asked if they wanted to become employees of record and they said no after a good smear campaign organized by Wolt that managed to convince them that it was better to earn a hundred euros more per month…
Wolt can operate just fine with delivery employees instead of “entrepreneurs”.
An entrepreneur has to pay similar YEL fees as the social security fees for employees, so the difference is marginal.
It just requires a different approach for resource management, and they need to follow a different set of laws instead.
Shops, cleaning firms etc have been employing people on a “zero hour” contract for ages, so they don’t actually pay for anything except work done.
There are two sides to this. I support the court’s decision to stop giving entrepreneurship visas for courier work. It is a misuse of the entrepreneur visas and should be given to rightful applicants trying to set up a business and companies here. At the same time, I do understand why this is happening. A lot of aspiring international students come to Finland expecting a job after graduating, which is not the case for 95% of the graduates unfortunately. So these graduates tend to search and apply for odd or courier jobs to survive in Finland.
Finnish companies unfortunately does have a high bias against foreign educated graduates and even foreign graduates with Finnish degrees. It’s an unfortunate situation mainly for the graduates but even more ridiculous situation for companies complaining that there aren’t enough workers in their respective industries. Who is right at this point? The companies complaining not enough workers or the graduates complaining not enough jobs?
