FAQ

Yes, in every destination. All our staff accommodation has comfortable common areas and good basic facilities (furniture, tableware, washing machine). In most cases, the bedrooms are shared, as we accommodate a large number of staff in winter. Please let us know as soon as possible if you need accommodation.

The accommodation is fully furnished, so you'll find everything you need. You don't even need to bring bed linen, unless you really want to.

The easiest way is to fly from Helsinki to Ivalo. If you take the train, you can get to Rovaniemi and then take a bus to Ivalo, Inari or Kakslauttanen - depending on the hotel where you are going to work. We arrange transfers from the airport or bus station to the hotel for each of our employees, so all you need to do is make sure we have an up-to-date time for your arrival.

Go outside! If you work with us, you'll be working in a place with excellent outdoor facilities. Go for a refreshing jog in the surrounding nature, go on a hike with a colleague or skiing in Saariselkä.

Men working in the restaurant and reception area must wear black trousers, a black collared shirt and black shoes. We provide women working in the restaurant and reception area with a special working dress. With the dress you will need a black long-sleeved shirt, black tights and black shoes. Guides, kitchen staff and floor workers will receive their workwear from us. We will give you more instructions about the workwear well before the work starts.
-
During the polar night what we call "Kaamos" the sun doesn't rise above the horizon. In our area polar night lasts about 40 days, starting in the beginning of December. Even if you think so, polar night is not just a dark time. The snow and moon provide a surprising amount of light, and there are still a few hours of daylight each day. During the polar night, you can admire spectacular light phenomena, and just one of them is the northern lights.

When you come to Finland to work, your tax treatment depends on the length of your stay. If you stay in Finland for no longer than 6 months, you are considered a non-resident taxpayer. This normally means that you must pay tax at source on the income you receive from Finnish sources.
But if your country of residence is an EU country, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein or a country that has a tax treaty with Finland, you can ask to be taxed progressive. ‘Progressive tax’ means that your payments of tax depend on a percentage that will grow if you receive an increase in income – and shrink if your income goes down. Actual percentage will be based on your actual income and deductions for the entire year.
-
You don't necessarily need to get a tax card or a Finnish personal ID beforehand. We can help you apply for these after your arrival.
