Hello,

Working conditions differ across the world, and as a working expat, it is important to know your rights as an employee.

Are working conditions standard in Sweden? For instance, are working hours, paid time off, and sick leave different for expats v.s. locals? Do they differ based on the type of company (private, public, NGO)?

Are there laws in place regarding physical conditions of the office, employee protection, etc.?

What are some resources in Sweden to inform people about labour laws and employee rights (websites, governmental associations)?

Have the general working conditions or labour laws changed in any way lately?

How do the working conditions and labour laws in Sweden differ from your country of origin?

Thank you for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

In Sweden the first part of the first question is almost illegal even as a thought听听

I think this will answer for many questions which are related to Labour Laws
