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This is an outdated version of the Working Hours Act.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