Cleaning and property services firm SOL Palvelut has confirmed that employees were asked to pay for jobs after commissioning an independent review into labour practices. The company ordered the inquiry following public debate last autumn about possible work-related exploitation. The review, carried out between October and December 2025 by the Code of Conduct Company, examined recruitment, induction, payroll processes and reporting channels for misconduct. An anonymous survey was sent to 5,212 employees. A total of 1,618 workers, or 31 per cent, responded.
