Månadsliggande

Månadsliggande is a Swedish term that translates to "monthly lying" or "monthly position." It refers to a practice or agreement where an individual is paid a fixed monthly salary regardless of the exact number of hours worked in a given month, provided they fulfill their agreed-upon duties and responsibilities. This is a common arrangement in many employment contracts, particularly for salaried positions.

The core concept of månadsgliggande is the predictable and consistent income for the employee, while the employer benefits from a stable workforce committed to achieving broader goals rather than focusing solely on hourly output. It implies a trust between employer and employee, where the employee is expected to manage their time effectively to meet expectations. The specific terms of a månadsgliggande agreement, including expected working hours, benefits, and performance reviews, are typically outlined in the employment contract. This contrasts with hourly wage employment, where pay is directly tied to the time spent working. Månadsliggande is a foundational element of many professional careers, offering financial stability and a focus on task completion and overall contribution.
