Swedish Collective "Additional Time" Agreement Changes Webinar
Updated

Leigh Hutchens
Starting 1 April 2026, a significant update to the collective agreement (Kollektivavtal) for a large number of our customers goes into effect. These changes are designed to increase predictability for workers and reduce the "misuse" of part-time contracts. The most notable shift is the introduction of Mertidsersättning (Additional Hours Pay), which ensures that part-time employees are compensated for extra hours at the same rates as full-time overtime. Additionally, the update introduces stricter scheduling rules to guarantee "time power" for employees, including more stable schedules and improved rights to holiday leave.
Key takeaways from the training
- Comprehensive compensation support: Learn how Quinyx automatically selects the highest applicable rate (AT1, AT2, or AT3) based on the time of day and total hours worked.
- Advanced additional time methods: A guide to the new side-modal in Account settings, allowing you to define rules that trigger based on scheduled vs. worked hours.
- Scenario planning: We review common scheduling scenarios—such as shifts extending past 20:00 or weekend work—to show how the system handles overlapping pay rules.
