Rättkoll is an independent service, not a government agency.

HiringResponsible: Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Public Employment Service)

Support when you hire

Financial support when you hire someone who finds it hard to get work, for example through new start jobs (nystartsjobb).

Quick check: does this apply to you?

Answer yes or no on each line. Nothing is saved.

  • You want to hire someone who has been out of work for a long time, is new in Sweden or has a disability

What affects the decision

  • Who you hire and their situation at Arbetsförmedlingen
  • Pay and conditions in line with a collective agreement or equivalent
  • That the support is approved before the employment starts

What to do

  1. Read the rules and current amounts at Arbetsförmedlingen (Swedish Public Employment Service).
  2. Talk to Arbetsförmedlingen before you sign a contract with the person.
  3. Contact Arbetsförmedlingen before the employment starts. The support often has to be approved first.
  4. Allow for processing time and don’t count on the money before you have a decision.
