In this episode, we will discuss whether an employer in Finland can visit a worker at home to check on them. This could be a situation where the worker has called in sick, and the company wants to verify whether he or she is actually sick. This recently happened at a Tesla factory in Germany. The factory management had paid home visits to workers to check whether the worker’s sick leave was legitimate.
