Does the employer need to ensure that a foreign employee has the right to work in Finland even if he/she already has a Finnish tax number?

Foreign employee

Yes. The employer must ensure that a foreign employee has the right to work in Finland, and he must keep this information at the workplace. Official transactions with the authorities (e.g. the Tax Administration, KELA or Digital and Population Data Services Agency) do not constitute proof of the right to work in Finland.
