About this statute

This provision states the law’s purpose: to improve workers’ motivation and health through short absences from work, and to improve employment opportunities for unemployed jobseekers by offering them time-limited work experience. This section says who the law applies to: full-time employees, employees working more than 75% of full-time hours in the sector, and certain public-sector employees. It also excludes some entrepreneurs. This section defines “alterneringsledighet,” “alterneringslediga,” and “vikarie.” An employee must meet work-history conditions before taking alternation leave. Alternation leave requires prior qualifying work with the same employer for at least one continuous year, with limited counted absences and some related employment time also counted.
