Mooted re-employment rule for foreign workers widely rejected in comments

THE GOVERNMENT of Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP) received predominantly pessimistic feedback for its proposal to obligate work-based residence permit holders to leave the country if they fail to re-employ themselves within three months of becoming unemployed. Only two of the 118 comments submitted during the newly concluded comment period viewed that the proposed time window is long enough to find a new job in Finland.
