Our services combine compliance, payroll, and employee support into one streamlined system.

Whether you are a startup testing the Swedish market, a multinational hiring remote staff, or a company relocating employees, our EOR & payroll services ensure legal compliance, accurate payroll, and employee satisfaction.

What is Employer of Record (EOR)?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a trusted third party that becomes the legal employer of your workforce in Sweden. While you direct the day-to-day work, we handle the legal, administrative, and compliance aspects of employment. This includes drafting employment contracts compliant with Swedish labor law, registering employees with Skatteverket (Swedish Tax Agency), managing payroll, tax withholdings, and social contributions, handling benefits, pensions, and insurance, and ensuring compliance with Swedish employment standards and EU regulations. For businesses, this means you can expand quickly into Sweden without incorporating a subsidiary or spending months on regulatory setup.

Why Companies Use EOR Services in Sweden

Sweden is one of the strongest economies in Europe, known for its innovation-driven markets, highly skilled workforce, and strong legal protections for employees. But for foreign companies, hiring staff in Sweden can be challenging due to the following reasons:

Complex Employment Laws

Sweden enforces strong worker rights under the Employment Protection Act (LAS).

Strict Tax Compliance

Employers must register with Skatteverket and manage PAYE tax deductions, pensions, and employer contributions.

Time-consuming Setup

Establishing a local entity (AB) can take months, delaying business expansion.

High Compliance Risks

Mistakes in payroll, tax, or benefits administration can result in penalties or disputes.

Our EOR service solves these challenges by acting as your legal employer, letting you focus on growth while we manage compliance.
