1. Role and right to work
The duties, employment terms and the employee's current status are reviewed. Where a permit is required before work begins, that timing is treated as a blocking requirement.
Employer Hub
Manage international hiring as one coordinated case
Plan the permit route, employer obligations, application evidence and start-of-work preparation in one workflow. ENB coordinates the employer and employee file; the competent authority makes the official decision.
01
International hiring workflow
The correct permit route and employer duties are not identical for every hire. The process starts by checking the role and the employee's existing residence and right-to-work position.
2. Correct permit route
The case is assessed for TTOL, specialist or another work-based route. Employment terms and employer evidence needed for the chosen application are prepared.
3. Employer actions
Where relevant, employment terms are completed through Enter Finland for Employers, and we check whether an employer announcement is required when hiring someone who already has a valid right to work.
4. Tax, payroll and registrations
Tax card, Finnish personal ID, payroll, Incomes Register and social-insurance topics are coordinated with the appropriate accounting/payroll process before or at the start of employment.
5. Onboarding and follow-up
A follow-up list covers start dates, permit validity, possible extension timing and the right-to-work records the employer needs to retain.
02
What ENB coordinates for employers

03
Core areas the employer must verify
The exact legal duties depend on the facts. These areas are checked when the case is opened.
Right to work
The employer verifies that the employee has the right to perform the work in Finland before the relevant start date and retains the records required for employer oversight.
Employment terms
The employer remains responsible for terms that comply with Finnish law and the applicable collective agreement.
Notifications
Depending on the permit and employment situation, the case is checked for employer announcements or other actions required by Migri.
Tax and payroll reporting
Withholding, insurance and Incomes Register duties are determined from the employee's and employer's situation.

Scope boundary
ENB Consulting does not replace an employer's statutory obligations or decisions by Migri, Vero or another competent authority. Employment-law disputes or legal representation require a separate assessment by an appropriately authorised legal professional.
