Orion adheres to current employment legislation and the applicable collective bargaining agreements valid in the country the employee works in.

Between 2007 and 2009, collective bargaining agreements covered blue collar and white collar employees in Orion’s Finnish locations, a total of 67 per cent of the workforce. For exempts, collective agreements covered only salary increases (i.e., common pay record). The pay record of exempts was expanded in the spring of 2010. In addition to salary increases, it now covers several other conditions, such as more extensive sick pay than that specified in Employment Contracts Act and paid maternity leave.
