Helsinki Port sacks entire staff temporarily

The Port of Helsinki Ltd and its employees have agreed that the Port’s personnel will be temporarily dismissed, said an official press release.

The authority has taken the decision on Tuesday as a part of its reduction plan as the coronavirus pandemic and the related travel restrictions heavily impacted the business of the Port of Helsinki.

The personnel of the Port of Helsinki will be dismissed for 30 days between the start of August and the end of the year, and for a maximum of 30 days in early 2021. The management of the Port of Helsinki will also participate in the adjustment measures by waiving their holiday bonuses for 2020.
