Section 10b of the Swedish Working Hours Act
Version 2013:611, English translation
Overview of the entire Working Hours Act
Important Notice
This is an outdated version of the Working Hours Act. The Swedish government produced a one-off unoffical English translation of the Working Hours Act in 2015. This page is based on that translation. The Working Hous Act has been revised repeatedly since then. None of the revisions have been translated into English. A summary of the changes is available on lagen.nu.

Den sammanlagda arbetstiden under varje period om sju dagar får uppgå till högst 48 timmar i genomsnitt under en beräkningsperiod om högst fyra månader. Vid beräkningen av den sammanlagda arbetstiden skall semester och sjukfrånvaro under tid då arbetstagaren annars skulle ha arbetat likställas med fullgjord arbetstid. Lag (2011:740). |
The total working time per every seven day period may amount to an average of at most 48 hours during a reference period of at most four months. When calculating the total working time, annual leave and sickness absence during times when the employee would otherwise have worked shall be treated as hours worked. Act (2011:740). |
