The event coordinator’s fee of Gateway to working life

The Gateway to working life recruitment event will be organized in January 2023. An event coordinator, who is primarily responsible for the event and organizes the event, is needed for the event. Organizing the event is the task assigned to the Vice Chairperson of the Board. Since the term has ended for the year 2022 Vice Chairperson during the event, she needs to be paid a separate compensation for the work done. The Council discussed the matter and decided to pay compensation for organizing the recruitment event to the year 2022 Vice Chairperson after the event.

Refuse of the board’s communication actor’s fee

The Council decided to deny Laura the privilege to a part of her fees and transfer the denied fees to Kati Tuomisto and Riku Pitkänen, who did the work to make up for it.

Council’s Incentive remuneration model

Since the beginning of the year, the Council has approved an incentive remuneration model. According to the model, an active Council member or deputy member can earn an incentive fee for their active work. The activity is monitored by the Chairpersons of the Council.
