anställs

Anställs is the present passive form of the Swedish verb anställa, meaning to hire or employ. It is used to indicate that someone is being employed by an employer. In active voice, the corresponding form is anställer (he/she/they hire). Other related forms include anställd (employed, as an adjective or noun), anställda (the employees), and anställdes (past passive). The phrase bli anställd means to become employed.

The noun anställning refers to the employment relationship or an employment contract. It is common to distinguish between different types of anställning, such as fast anställning (permanent/indefinite), visstidsanställning (fixed-term), and provanställning (probationary employment). These distinctions are frequently used in job postings, HR documents, and labor-law discussions.

In Swedish labor law, the Lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS) governs many aspects of employment, including protection against unfair dismissal, probationary periods, and notice requirements for termination. The specifics can vary by sector and via collective agreements, so some situations may be subject to different rules. The term anställs also appears in formal contexts to describe ongoing employment arrangements, policies, and hiring processes.

Examples:

- Företaget anställer nya medarbetare.

- Han anställs som projektledare.

- Hon blev anställd i maj.

- De anställda har rätt till lön under uppsägningstiden enligt LAS.

Overall, anställs is a key grammatical form used to describe the act of being employed, while anställning and related terms denote the broader concept of an employment relationship in Swedish.
