    Civil service law regulates the legal status of civil servants in Finland, including their rights and duties. It also governs the state's role as an employer. Civil service positions can only be held by individuals in a public office relationship with the government. These public office relationships are formed through unilateral administrative action, such as appointment, and are governed by laws specific to civil servants. The legal status of government employees with employment contracts, rather than public office relationships, is regulated separately under Finnish employment law.

    Civil service law is a key branch of law in terms of the management of state personnel.

    It includes the
    regulations governing the general legal status of civil servants, i.e. their rights and duties. Civil service
    law regulates the state's role as an employer.

    Duties involving the exercise of public authority can primarily be performed only by civil servants in a
    public office relationship. For this reason, such a relationship is the chief form of service relationship
    used for government employees. Public office relationships are governed by specific responsibilities laid
    down in the Constitution (731/1999) as pertaining to holders of public office.

    According to the State Civil Servants Act (750/1994), a public office relationship is a service relationship
    governed by public law, in which the state is the employer and the civil servant is the performer of the
    duties in question. A public office relationship is formed based on the required, unilateral administrative
    action involving a recommendation to recruit, i.e. an appointment. The duties of civil servants cannot be
    agreed separately.

    The legal status of employees with an employment contract is regulated by the Employment Contracts
    Act (55/2001).

    Social security coverage for civil servants

    The category ’civil servants’ is considered to include not only employees in government service but also
    other public-sector employees.

    If you move to Finland from an EU or EEA country or Switzerland as a civil servant, you are covered under
    the social security system in your employer country for the duration of the employment in Finland. In
    other words, you are eligible for social security benefits from the country employing you, under the
    terms applicable there. Each country is free to define whom it regards as civil servants. If you are part of
    the personnel of a foreign diplomatic mission in Finland, you are covered under the Finnish social
    security system if the minimum requirements regarding the terms of employment are met or if you are
    resident in Finland.

    If you move to Finland from some other country than an EU or EEA country, Switzerland or a country that
    has a social security agreement with Finland, you are covered under the Finnish social security system if
    you move to Finland permanently or if the minimum requirements regarding the terms of employment
    are met. This also applies to the benefits not specified in a social security agreement between Finland
    and another country.

    Personnel posted to a foreign diplomatic mission are not covered under the Finnish social security
    system. Foreign nationals working at foreign diplomatic missions are entitled to Finnish social security
    benefits only if they were living in Finland permanently already before their contract of service began.
    Locally hired Finnish citizens at foreign diplomatic missions who are permanently living in Finland remain
    covered under the Finnish social security system.
