Payment of salary
Your salary is normally paid out on the 25th every month. You are responsible for providing your account details to the paying bank, which until 30 April 2023 is Nordea. In May, Lund University will change its bank for salary payments from Nordea to Swedbank.
If you are a new employee and will receive a salary or expenses payment in April 2023, you need to register your account at the University’s current bank, Nordea. Read more further down on this page about how to register your account at Nordea for salary payments up to and including April 2023.
If subsequently, as of May 2023, you are to continue to receive salary payments, you also need to register your salary account in Swedbank’s account register.

Submitting a tax registration certificate

Supplements or deductions
Your manager decides whether salary supplements are to be paid out with your first salary or after the calendar month to which the supplements refer. The same applies to salary deductions.
If the salary deduction cannot be made according to the relevant decision, the employee is responsible for paying in an amount corresponding to the salary deduction in the time and manner determined by the employer.
Make sure to register any absence from work as soon as possible. You will then reduce the risk of incurring a salary liability due to a salary deduction for late registration of absence.
Check your salary statement
Make sure to always check your salary statement to verify that all the information is correct. If you have any questions about your salary statement, please contact the National Government Service Centre (Statens Servicecenter, SSC).
