From a customer

“The best thing the industry has seen.”

Erkka · Ravintolamestarit

The MaRa agreement, clause by clause.

Sutja knows the collective agreements for the tourism, restaurant and leisure services sector. Rotas, employment contracts, leave and HR records stay in line with them: premiums are calculated for you and rest periods stay where they belong.

208

coded rules from the MaRa agreements for employees and supervisors. Each one has a value, a clause and a verification status.

Agreements for employees and supervisors · both universally binding · valid until 31 March 2028

Every employment type, every working-time arrangement.

A rota tool that only knows rest periods leaves the rest in your head. Sutja applies the agreement as it is written, for supervisors and period-based work too.

Agreements

Each one has its own rule profile.

  • Employees' agreement
  • Supervisors' agreement

  • Additional and overtime work

  • Local agreements

Errors show up before you publish.

Check before publishing

Every shift is checked against the MaRa agreement and the Working Hours Act while you plan. When you publish, Sutja tells you whose days off are left ungiven and suggests the fix with the clause.

Period always up to date

Actual hours, the overtime threshold, days off and the working-day rhythm are shown for each person while you build shifts. The annual leave balance and skills are in the same view.

Exception permits

When a shift cuts into weekly rest, publishing needs an exception permit. The supervisor records the reason and can offer compensatory rest, and the employee is notified. Statutory limits cannot be overridden.

Agreement per person

The employment contract states which MaRa agreement applies to the person. Sutja calculates shifts, premiums and leave accordingly, and the default comes from the workspace settings.

Every number can be checked.

Sutja lists every coded rule: its value, its clause, what it does, and whether the number comes from the agreement text or from the law. A lawyer or shop steward can check all of it.
