Salary during sick leave

As an employee, you are entitled to salary during sick leave in accordance with the provisions of the Terms and Conditions Agreement chapter 7 and the Act (1991: 1047) on sick pay (SjlL).

From the eighth day you need to prove your illness with a medical certificate or dental certificate.
You submit the certificate to your HR partner at the HR department. The Swedish Social Insurance Agency also needs your medical certificate and it is you as an employee who is responsible for sending it there. If no medical certificate is submitted from the eighth day, the employer is not obliged to pay sick pay.  

Sick pay (days 1-14) 
For each day that you would have worked but are absent from work due to illness, working day-calculated sick pay is paid in proportion to the extent of sick leave:

- for day 1 (waiting period) 0 percent in sick pay

- day 2 - 14.80 percent in sick pay

From day 15 , you as an employee will receive sickness benefit from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency and a sickness benefit supplement from the employer. The sickness benefit supplement from the employer is paid automatically in proportion to the extent of the absence and requires that the employee is granted sickness benefit from the social insurance fund.

The employer is responsible for reporting to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency from day 15, after which you as an employee can apply for sickness benefit from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.

For more information about sickness benefit and how to apply for sickness benefit, see the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's website.

Salary exchange

As an employee at Linnaeus University, you have the opportunity to exchange wages. Switching wages to retirement means saving for extra pension in a simple, individual and affordable way. When you change your salary, a deduction is made on your gross salary. There is an upper and a lower limit on the size of the amount. The offer is advantageous because the deduction lowers your gross salary, which means that the tax is reduced. The employer's contribution is also reduced.

For more information, see below.

Tax

As a new employee, you must submit a tax certificate to your HR partner. You can order the tax certificate from the Swedish Tax Agency's website. Any adjustment must be submitted as soon as possible to your HR partner. You add requests for extra voluntary tax yourself in Primula.

Salary policy

Good salary formation is business-related and can thus contribute to success in Linnaeus University's supply of skills - a prerequisite for the university's operations to be successful in the short and long term.

Each employee should know how salary is determined, what can be done to contribute to achieving the business's goals and thus how the salary can be affected. The basis for salary setting therefore needs to be communicated. The salary-setting manager is responsible for creating the conditions for a recurring dialogue about performance in relation to the business.
