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This is an outdated version of the Working Hours Act.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

Till böter eller fängelse i högst ett år döms en arbetsgivare som uppsåtligen eller av oaktsamhet bryter mot ett föreläggande eller förbud som har meddelats med stöd av 22 §. Detta gäller dock inte om föreläggandet eller förbudet har förenats med vite. |
An employer who intentionally or negligently fails to comply with an order or prohibition issued against him in accordance with Section 22 may be fined or sentenced to imprisonment for a maximum of one year. However, this does not apply if the order or prohibition is accompanied by a conditional financial penalty |
