What information about employment terms must a Swedish employer give?
The employer must give written information on all terms of material importance to the employment, at the latest on the seventh calendar day after work began for the most central items and within one month for the rest. The information covers duties, form of employment, pay, working hours, notice periods and the right to training. If a term changes, new information must be given as soon as it does.
