Heltidsanställning

Heltidsanställning refers to full-time employment in Sweden. It is characterized by a standard workweek, typically 40 hours, though this can vary slightly depending on the collective agreement or employment contract. The concept of a full-time position implies a commitment from both the employer and the employee to a regular and substantial work schedule.

Employees with a heltidsanställning are entitled to a range of benefits and protections under Swedish labor law. These often include paid vacation, sick leave, parental leave, and pension contributions. The employer is obligated to provide a safe working environment and adhere to regulations concerning working hours, rest periods, and employee rights.

The duration of a heltidsanställning can be indefinite (tillsvidareanställning), meaning it continues until either party terminates it under specific legal conditions, or it can be for a fixed term (tidsbegränsad anställning), though these are less common for full-time roles and subject to strict limitations. A key aspect of heltid is the expectation of consistent engagement with work tasks and responsibilities. This contrasts with deltidsanställning, or part-time employment, where the working hours are less than the standard full-time week.
