Abstract

Employment contract ― wages ― non-discrimination ― equal treatment HEADNOTES Facts Koneurakointi Osa R. Torppavirta (later known as Osan Kone Oy) as a con- tractor and Saastamoinen Oy as an orderer agreed about the management of a machine and lorry works at the Siikaniemi industrial area (Kuopio sawmill) from 1985 on. Nine employees of Saastamoinen Oy continued working as old employees with the old payment system on the basis of piecework. All the new employees hired after 1985 were paid on the basis of an hourly wage, since the sawmill was also charged on the same basis. A worked at the sawmill from 1999 to 2001 as a lorry driver.
