They can just go back to working as doctors and engineers, right?

>Under Finnish law, independent contractors have the right to hire “substitutes” to fulfill their tasks.
Might as well have just called this the “exploit immigrants” clause of the law. There was no way that this type of allowance wasn’t going to be immediately abused.

Wasn’t it ruled in court they are count as real employees? This shadow accounts 100% should not be a thing what so ever. These companies need to pay their workers a living wage

>Â This “black market” often targets vulnerable individuals or the ones without legal work permits, forcing them to work under someone else’s identity while the account holder collects the pay.
So they are staying illegally and participating in this scheme at their own volition. What happened to cash they showed while applying for student permit? Dog ate it all?
Obviously Wolt also need to look at those account holders and report them to authorities.
Personally, I never ordered anything from these food delivery companies.Â

Yeah, someone owns the account legally and charges the renter a commission for using it. Some renters are getting Kela unemployment money but also earns from the delivery gigs.
This happens in restaurants or cleaning too. They hire some folks on Kela unemployment benefits, pay them cash under the table. Employers dodge taxes, while the illegal workers pocket Kela unemployment benefit plus the cash salary.

There used to be 20+ couriers that traveled with me on train every morning to Helsinki and they would meet up with 3 dudes in a van who gave everyone a phone and they would cycle off.

One of the guy in my football group got scammed when doing the work for the account owner. He just arrived in Finland to study and looking for part time job.
I told him, how do you think you work for Wolt but not registered to Wolt is a good idea. It is a stupid decision from him. Even though you are desperate for work if there is no contract written why would you do the job. I told him, report the incident to police and ask for lawyer representation if he wants to sue the guy for fraud.

If the government lets Migri check who’s made money from renting or subleasing Wolt, they’ll probably reject visa renewals or citizenship applications. Then, I think the account owners will stop renting their accounts themselves.
If you’re having these ghost issues, you should write to the Persu minister, I think they hate this human trafficking business type and will request a reform of the law to restrict those account owners.

This is extremely low hanging fruit for the immigration authorities. All of the parties doing this (renters, rentee) should be investigated.

Wolt finds loop holes to disrupt industry with technology and now contractors are using sub contractors with a loop hole to earn more money. You are now in a vortex of shit spinning
