Employment & contracting

Employment contracts, consultancy, remote work and household staff. Each document below is written and reviewed by Swedish lawyers, has one fixed price, and comes with an English explanation of the rules behind it.

How to choose in employment & contracting

Identify the working relationship before choosing a document: employee, managing director, consultant, remote worker or household worker. The right page depends on the role and the arrangement, not only on the job title.

Questions to answer before you start

  • Who directs the work and what role will the person have?
  • What duties, duration, location and payment terms need to be recorded?
  • Are confidentiality, remote work or ownership of work results separate questions?

When a standard document may not be enough: If the status of the worker, a termination or a conflict is already disputed, seek advice based on the complete circumstances.

In-depth guide

Consultancy agreement

Swedish: Konsultavtal

For engaging a self-employed consultant: assignment, rate, invoicing, intellectual property, confidentiality and notice. Also the document that keeps the engagement clearly outside employment, which matters for tax and for LAS.

Nanny and household employment contract

Swedish: Barnvakt- och hushållsanställningsavtal

Au pair agreement

Swedish: Au pair-avtal

Covers hours, duties, pocket money, board and lodging, language studies, holiday and how the placement ends. Migration authorities expect the terms to match the requirements attached to the au pair permit.

Resignation letter

Swedish: Egen uppsägning

A short, correct resignation: last day, notice period, holiday balance and a request for the documents you are entitled to. Since 1 October 2025 the old arbetsgivarintyg duty sits with the unemployment fund, not the employer.

Employee handbook

Swedish: Personalhandbok

One document covering working hours, holiday, sick leave, remote work, IT rules and what to do when something is wrong. Not a contract, but it is the thing new joiners actually read, and what a workplace inspection asks to see.

Non-compete agreement

Swedish: Konkurrensklausul

Stops a departing employee, consultant or seller from competing with you for a set period. Swedish law only enforces one so far as it is reasonable, so the time, the area and the compensation decide whether it holds at all.

Mutual termination agreement

Swedish: Uppsägningsavtal

An agreement to end employment by consent, instead of by dismissal. The point most templates skip: leaving voluntarily can be treated as leaving without valid reason, which suspends unemployment benefit for 45 compensation days. The agreement should record who took the initiative and why.

Redundancy dismissal notice

Swedish: Uppsägning på grund av arbetsbrist

Written notice of dismissal for redundancy. The part most templates get wrong is the fullföljdshänvisning: the notice must state how the employee challenges the dismissal, how to claim damages, and whether there is priority for re-employment. Leave one out and the two-week deadline becomes a month.

Contract for services

Swedish: Uppdragsavtal

For engaging a self-employed person or another company for a defined piece of work without it becoming employment. Sets out F-skatt status, how independently the work is done, fee and expenses, who owns the result, confidentiality and liability. Swedish authorities look at the real relationship, not the heading.

Written warning to an employee

Swedish: Skriftlig varning

A written warning in Sweden is one of two different documents. An erinran states that behaviour is not accepted and may end the employment, and needs no legal basis. A disciplinary sanction is a punishment and needs support in statute or in a collective agreement.
