friskvårdspolicy

Friskvårdspolicy is a corporate policy that governs the provision of friskvård, a wellness or preventive health benefit, to employees. The policy outlines the purpose of offering wellness benefits, the total scope of eligibility, the types of activities covered, the method of distribution, and the administrative procedures for handling requests and reimbursements. It serves to provide clarity for both employees and management about what is included, how to access it, and how it is funded.

Typical elements of a friskvårdspolicy include eligibility criteria (such as employment status and contract length), the list of approved activities (for example gym memberships, fitness classes, swimming, preventive health services, and other health-related programs), limits on the benefit (usually a yearly cap), and the administrative process for claiming the benefit (reimbursement, prepaid cards, or direct arrangements with providers). The policy may also address exclusions, documentation requirements, and how to handle changes in the program.

In the Swedish context, friskvård is generally a tax-advantaged benefit within limits set by tax authorities, so the policy must align with tax rules and regulations. It may specify whether benefits can be used by dependents, how to handle multi-year arrangements, and how the policy interacts with other benefits or salary components. Effective friskvårdspolicy documentation supports fair access, compliance, and straightforward administration, and is typically reviewed and updated periodically by HR or management.
