Statute overview

About this statute

Employers may make a fixed-term employment contract with a long-term unemployed person without the usual reason requirement, and the contract is subject to a one-year maximum total duration. Section 4 lets employer and employee agree on a probation period, usually up to six months, with possible extension for certain absences. Employers must give employees written information about key employment terms within the stated time limits, including sooner rules for repeated short contracts, foreign work, and changes to working conditions. A worker absent due to illness or accident has a right to sick pay, with the amount depending on how long the employment has lasted. Arbetsgivaren får inte kvitta en arbetstagares lönefordran mot en motfordran när lönen är undantagen från utmätning.
