Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage employer social fees (arbetsgivaravgifter), which run to roughly 31.42% of gross salary, along with preliminary income tax withholding. Sweden has no statutory minimum wage; pay and many employment terms are instead set through sector collective bargaining agreements, and we apply the relevant agreement’s terms where the employer is bound by one.
Occupational pension contributions above the collective agreement minimum, wellness allowances (friskvårdsbidrag, which carry favorable tax treatment up to a set annual amount), and generous parental leave top-ups beyond the state benefit are all common differentiators in Sweden. Swedish candidates also weigh work-life balance and flexible hours heavily in comparing offers.
Under the Employment Protection Act (LAS), statutory notice runs from one month up to six months depending on tenure, and terminations generally require either ‘saklig grund’ (objective grounds) for individual dismissals or a documented redundancy process with union consultation (MBL negotiations) where unions are recognized. Sweden’s strong union involvement in terminations is one of the more distinctive features of its labor market for international employers.
An EOR can typically onboard within one to two weeks for tax registration and contract issuance, compared with the several weeks needed to incorporate a Swedish entity (such as an AB) and register with the Swedish Tax Agency and Social Insurance Agency as a new employer.
Sweden’s collective bargaining influence on pay and terms, combined with union consultation requirements around redundancy, requires local expertise many international employers don’t have in-house. An EOR manages that compliance and carries the liability, letting you access Sweden’s strong engineering and tech talent pool without incorporation costs.
