Anställningsskydd

Question

Dear Lawline
I do have a question regarding transfer from visstidsanställning to tillsvidaraanställning. If you have worked ½ year visstids and the company offers tillsvidaraanställming, does the half year influence on the seniority, when you count after the employee is tillsvidaraanstället??

Answer 1

Hello!
According to 22 § 4 subparagraph of the Swedish Employment Protection Act, Lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (https://lagen.nu/1982:80), the total employment period is relevant when deciding seniority. This means that also "visstidsanställning" is included in the seniority calculation.
