Helsinki Pride is implementing new employment contracts that include a lifetime confidentiality obligation for its staff. Violating this clause will result in a contractual penalty equivalent to six months’ salary. According to Finnish broadcaster Yle, based on average salaries in the non-profit sector, this penalty could exceed 20,000 euros. The confidentiality requirement is perpetual, remaining in effect even after employment ends. This measure aims to protect sensitive information related to the organization and its activities. The introduction of these clauses has raised questions about transparency and potential restrictions on former employees. Helsinki Pride has not yet publicly commented on the specific reasoning behind the policy change.
