For Finland fired is different from laid off. So you can fire someone if they repeatedly break instructions like OSHA related stuff, fraud or stealing and so on. Very high bar in reality. Laid off on other hand is longer process requiring negotiation between employer and employees, comes with payment from 2 weeks (under 1 year employment) to 6 months(over 12 years). Also in some case temporary layoff, like in the original meaning of term is possible. After sometime the employment continues like before with same contract and seniority.
