We welcome you to work in the North Savo wellbeing services county

It is necessary because the tax office only transfers tax cards directly to us if the tax period starts on the 1st of February, provided that the employment relationship already is force at that time.  

Please send scanned copies of your previous certificates of service with other employers by email to this address: palkat.pshva@monetra.fi . In your email you should specify in which unit and under what job title you have come to work.  

Our unit for service relationships will check the testimonials, and based on the accepted service certificates Monetra will then calculate the total period that entitles you to receive a bonus for work experience. Monetra will send you a decision on the calculation of the work experience bonus.  

If you don’t have access to a scanner at home, you may scan the necessary certificates at your workplace once you have started your service. 

Please also send certified copies of your study and training certificates by email to this address: palsu@pshyvinvointialue.fi . You should do it no later than when you arrive to work with us. At the same time, you should also present these certificates to your supervisor, who has the duty to ascertain their correctness and lawfulness through the online registers of social welfare and healthcare professionals (“JulkiTerhikki”). 

If you are a student, you should also show your supervisor a certificate of your right to study. Such a certificate must be presented each semester that you work while having a student status. 

Remuneration is based on the collective agreements made for the health and social sectors (“SOTE”), the wellbeing sectors (“HYVTES”), and medical doctors (“LS”). The job-specific pay levels applied in North Savo are also defined in the administrative instructions of our wellbeing services county, entitled “Pay principles”. You will have access to these instructions once you have started to work for the wellbeing services county. 

You may address any questions about your pay to your future supervisor whose contact information you will find in the job announcement.  

As you start on your job, induction and orientation will be arranged by the receiving work unit. This is to ensure that each new employee, in any professional group, will receive systematic and individualised induction and orientation.
