Questions

• Who can work in Sweden?

  EU/EEA citizens can work freely; others require a valid work permit and residence permit issued before employment begins. Employers must verify legal right to work, and many request a Swedish personnummer or coordination number for tax and employment registration.

• What employment contracts are standard?

  Most roles use fixed written contracts specifying hours, salary, duties, and termination terms. Probationary periods of three to six months are common for new hires. Collective agreements in many sectors set additional terms above the statutory minimum.

• What are typical working hours?

  Full-time employment is standardised at 40 hours per week. Part-time roles, often 20-30 hours weekly, are widespread. Overtime is paid at premium rates and regulated by law and collective agreements.

• How is overtime handled?

  Overtime is compensated through additional pay, typically at time-and-a-half or double-time rates set by collective agreement or contract. Hours beyond the standard weekly threshold are tracked and settled monthly or quarterly.

• What documents do employers require?

  Employers request a CV, formal qualifications (such as a gymnasieexamen or university degree), references, and proof of identity. Non-Swedish residents must provide work and residence permits before starting.

• When is the main holiday period?

  July is the primary holiday month; most employees take two to four weeks then. Employers plan staffing around this predictable absence. Additional holiday entitlement accrues by law and collective agreement.

• How does salary payment work?

  Salaries are paid monthly, typically by the 25th of each month, directly to the employee's bank account via Swish or bank transfer. Payslips itemise gross salary, taxes, ATP pension contribution, and other deductions.

• What is ATP and why does it appear on payslips?

  ATP (Allmän tjänstepensionsplan) is a mandatory occupational pension scheme to which employers contribute. The employer's contribution appears as a deduction on payslips and is a standard fixture of Swedish employment.

• What is fika and how does it work?

  Fika is a structured workplace break, typically 15-30 minutes, taken once or twice daily for coffee and socialising. It is an institutionalised part of the working day rather than an optional informal pause.

• Are there restrictions on working hours or night work?

  Swedish law limits working time and regulates night shifts through the Working Hours Act and collective agreements. Rest periods between shifts are mandated, and excessive hours require compensation or time off in lieu.
