Two regional tables: PKS = Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen, Vantaa; MUU = rest of Finland. Values are minimum table salaries for full-time (37.5 h/week) employees; monthly and hourly figures as published. Step names were renamed 1.2.2025 to reflect actual service years (2nd year = after 1 completed year, 4th = after 3, 6th = after 5, 9th = after 8); a relevant vocational qualification puts the employee straight on the 4th-year step. A new common job-demand classification applies from 1.10.2026: B = ammattitehtävä, C = vaativa ammattitehtävä, D = erityisammattitehtävä, ammatillinen asiantuntijatehtävä = contract pay above D; group A remains for e.g. service-station worker I. Separate tables in the same annex (not reproduced here): service-station restaurant workers and supervisors, ICT clerical staff, logistics supervisors; wholesale sellers II/III and fitters tables apply only until 30.9.2026. Raise history: +2.9% 1.5.2025, +2.5% 1.8.2026, +2.4% 1.5.2027. Generally binding: Finlex general applicability decision 16/2022 (12.12.2022) covers the 2025–2028 agreement. Shift/evening/Saturday supplements are extra and not included.
