Section 12 of the Swedish Working Hours Act

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This is an outdated version of the Working Hours Act.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.

| 12 § | Section 12 |
|
Alla arbetsgivare som anlitar arbetstagare till arbete annat än tillfälligt skall lämna arbetstagarna besked om ändringar i fråga om den ordinarie arbetstidens och jourtidens förläggning minst två veckor i förväg. Sådant besked får dock lämnas kortare tid i förväg, om verksamhetens art eller händelser som inte har kunnat förutses ger anledning till det. |
All employers who engage employees for work other than on a temporary basis shall give the employees no less than two weeks’ advance notice of changes concerning the organisation of regular working time and on-call time. However, shorter advance notice may be given if warranted by the nature of the activity or unforeseeable events. |
