When a company becomes an employer for the first time, many people should applaud. Thanks to you and the compensation you pay to your staff, tax revenue is created that goes to healthcare, education, social care and defense.<\/p>

The reality is, however, that many small businesses hesitate to hire their first employee. The responsibility often feels daunting. The risk of making mistakes as a manager and employer in the sense of labor law also feels quite daunting.\u00a0<\/p>

However, it is very difficult to become a successful company without hiring staff. Think about it yourself, do you know of any company that does not have employees and has succeeded really well? Having personnel responsibility and becoming an employer does not have to be terrible, but on the contrary, it can be relieving and beneficial. However, it is important that you have an experienced friend by your side who can teach you the basics so that you can quickly get started and who will then be by your side if things get bumpy along the way.

Use a template or form when writing your employment contract. It should be as short and concise as possible.

Also, don't forget any attachments such as a personal data policy or the latest version of your personnel handbook.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Kollektivavtal, h\u00e4ngavtal eller inget alls? Ett kollektivavtal \u00e4r ett avtal mellan arbetsgivarorganisation och fackf\u00f6rbund som r\u00f6r regler och \u00f6verenskommelser. Det kan handla om l\u00e4gsta l\u00f6n, upps\u00e4gning, f\u00f6rs\u00e4kringar eller vad som ska f\u00f6rhandlas. En del av reglerna i lagen om anst\u00e4llningsskydd \u00e4r dispositiva och dessa kan parterna komma \u00f6verens om i ett kollektivavtal. Kollektivavtalet blir arbetsgivare bundna av genom att bli medlem i en arbetsgivarorganisation som tar betalt av dig genom en viss procent av din l\u00f6nekostnader. Men det g\u00e5r \u00e4ven att bli bunden genom att ing\u00e5 avtalet direkt med ett fackf\u00f6rbund. D\u00e5 kallas det h\u00e4ngavtal.

Do employers have to have collective agreements?<\/b><\/h4>

Nej, det m\u00e5ste man inte. Tv\u00e4rtom s\u00e5 r\u00e5der det avtalsfrihet. Ingen ska beh\u00f6va tvingas in i ett avtal. Enligt Medlingsinstitutet \u00e4r 90% av all personal i Sverige dock bundna av kollektivavtal. S\u00e5 det \u00e4r i h\u00f6g grad popul\u00e4rt bland arbetsgivare att teckna dem.<\/span><\/p>

What does it mean to be bound by a collective agreement?\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>

Det finns m\u00e5nga kollektivavtal. Det kr\u00e4vs att man faktiskt l\u00e4ser avtalet i sin helhet f\u00f6r att ta reda p\u00e5 detta. N\u00e4r du \u00e4r bunden av ett kollektivavtal s\u00e5 m\u00e5ste du f\u00f6lja det. Annars \u00e4r risken att du f\u00e5r betala skadest\u00e5nd till fackf\u00f6rbundet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you are bound by a collective agreement, there is insurance that you must take out for your employees. For blue-collar workers, FORA administers these, and for white-collar workers, either FORA or Collectum. If you are not bound by a collective agreement, there is no obligation to take out insurance, except in certain specific industries.<\/p>
