Statistics Finland collects wage and salary data on local government sector employees every year. The inquiry concerns the data for October and they are used for producing statistics on branch-specific wages and salaries, structural statistics on wages and salaries and the index of wage and salary earnings. The content of the inquiry is kept similar every year so that the data will retain their comparability. The obligation to provide data is based on the Statistics Act (280/2004). The Statistics Act obliges Statistics Finland to treat the data as confidential. The data can be released for statistical and research purposes for municipalities, joint municipal boards and organisations without identification information on individuals or employers. Municipalities and joint municipal boards can submit the wage and salary data on their monthly and hourly paid employees to Statistics Finland either by file transfer or with electronic forms through the Internet service. Supplying data through these pages is totally free and data protected. All communication is encrypted on the same level as web banking.
