Benefits Guide
Employing in Sweden
The majority of workers in Sweden fall under the protection of a collective bargaining agreement, even those who are not members of a specific union. These agreements cover many areas where other countries rely on national employment laws. Employing workers in Sweden means understanding which bargaining agreements apply to your employees and following the agreements closely.
To employ workers in Sweden, contact Remote to learn more about your options.

In Sweden, there is no minimum wage. However, different industries enforce their own minimum wages through collective bargaining agreements between trade unions and employers’ organizations. Most companies and workers in Sweden are subject to these rules. Remote can help you determine which minimum wage applies to your employees.

For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly installments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.

We can help you get a new employee started in Sweden fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 3 working days.
Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.
For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.
Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Sweden, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Sweden may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
