Collective agreement

MaRa collective agreement and staff scheduling

Smove knows the Finnish hospitality, restaurant and leisure services collective agreement and builds rotas to match. Premiums are calculated for you and rest periods stay in place.

What this means for staff scheduling

The MaRa collective agreement covers restaurants, cafés, hotels and the wider accommodation and food service sector. It defines, among other things, the working-time forms in use, the premiums for evening, night and weekend work, and the rest periods a rota must respect. Done by hand, reconciling all of this with seasonal peaks and part-timers is slow and error-prone.

How Smove interprets the agreement for you

01

The rota is built by the MaRa working-time rules: Smove never suggests shifts that break rest periods or maximum working hours.

02

Evening, night, Saturday and Sunday premiums are calculated automatically for every shift, so the payroll data is correct from the start.

03

Labour cost and the upcoming payroll total are visible in real time, before shifts are published.

04

Rules can be fine-tuned to your site's agreed practices, and any exceptions are shown clearly before publishing.

Key concepts

Working-time forms

MaRa recognises general working time and period-based work, among others. Smove chooses the calculation by the form in use.

Evening and night premiums

Increases defined in the agreement for work done in the evening and at night. Smove applies them to the right hours automatically.

Weekend work

Compensation for Saturday and Sunday work. The Sunday increase is based on the Working Hours Act, the rest on the agreement.

Rest periods

Daily and weekly rest that the rota must safeguard. Smove enforces them on every shift.
