The regulations for hourly employment are governed by the Framework Agreement on Intermittent Employment, which is accessible to managers.

For payment of completed work, the form "Timersättning/arvode" must be filled out.

Processing is done digitally according to the instructions on the form.

Certain compensation levels are specified in the local conditions agreement.

External contractors, such as opponents, board members, experts (not recruitment), who are compensated with a fixed amount paid as salary, must fill out the form "Timersättning/arvode".

Processing is done digitally according to the instructions on the form.

Certain compensation levels are specified in the local conditions agreement.

If compensation is made via invoice, there are specific regulations regarding this. 

In addition to the regulations that apply to hourly employment or the hiring of external contractors, special processing is required if the person concerned resides abroad.
