Public sector agreements on terms of employment

Lund University is a public authority and as a public sector employee you are covered by one of the public sector agreements on terms of employment:

Agreement on terms of employment (Villkorsavtal) between the Swedish Agency for Government Employers and Seko
Agreement on terms of employment (Villkorsavtal) between the Swedish Agency for Government Employers and OFR/S/P/O
Agreement on terms of employment (Villkorsavtal-T) between the Swedish Agency for Government Employers and Saco-S

Much of the content of the various agreements is the same, but there are some differences. The agreements mentioned above is only available in Swedish:

Avtal och skrifter (arbetsgivarverket.se)

Even if you are not a member of an employee organisation (union), the employer has an obligation to apply the same rules to all their employees. Employees who are not organised apply the Saco-S agreement on terms of employment (Villkorsavtal-T).

In several cases, the agreements give the public authorities the possibility of signing local agreements which can be better adapted to the needs of the public authority.

Most local agreements at Lund University regulate working hours. However, the vast majority of employees are covered by the flexitime agreement or by the agreement on working hours for teaching staff.

You are welcome to enquire at your workplace about the agreements that cover your employment.
