What does the notice you received at work mean? What questions should you ask before making a decision? Here you will find guides to Swedish employment law for employees and employers, explaining key concepts and issues to watch for.
Read about termination, summary dismissal, redundancy, redeployment, redundancy selection and preferential rights. The guides help you understand the rules and identify issues that may need closer examination.

You do not need a legally polished document to report what happened. The important thing is that the report explains the incident and how the employer can contact you for follow-up.
When repeated comments or actions affect the working environment, describe them specifically. This assists both an investigation and an assessment of which rules may apply.
Unfair treatment can be serious even when the applicable legal rule is unclear. Start by describing what happened so the issue can be assessed without losing important details behind a label.
