If you are moving to a new address
You may take leave during a total of 1 workday without salary deduction if you are moving.
Relocation allowance
If you receive relocation allowance, the agreement gives you the right to leave without salary deduction for a maximum of 3 days.
You can read the rules for relocation in our collective agreement, Terms and Conditions and Terms and Conditions-T, under Employment Terms chapter 11.

Trade union representative assignment, central assignment
Trade union representative assignment or central assignment gives you the right to leave without salary deduction for a maximum of 10 working days per calendar year.
Trade union representative assignment or central assignment refers to central, regional or local employee organizations that are specified in the organization's statutes and received by the employee through election or recorded decision.
Trade union representative assignment or central assignment does not apply according to our collective agreement to leave relating to trade union activities at one's own workplace or any other workplace for the person who is a union shop steward. In such a case, the agreement on trade union representatives applies instead.
Trade union representative assignments or central assignments involve assignments as chairman, secretary, treasurer or other member of the board of a central employee organization, union, department, section, club or other part of a union, assignments as a representative at a congress, board of representative or similar, or as an auditor.
Trade union representative assignment or central assignment only applies when the employee performs the exact function that the assignment refers to, for example as chairman of the board's meetings. The employee is expected to prove the need for the leave, for example by showing the meeting notice.
Leave due to family matter
If the employer has granted an employee leave with the support of the Service Leave Ordinance (1984:111) or another statute, the employee is entitled to salary without deductions during the leave according to the summary below. Leave for part of a day counts as a full day.
Reason:
Serious cases of illness, death, funeral, probate or inheritance within one's own family or the closest family circle.
Time:
The time needed including travel time, however no more than ten working days per calendar year.
Doctors visits and in some cases Dentist visits
If necessary, an employee may take time off without salary deduction for doctor's or dentist's visits, etc. in the following cases:
- doctor connected to the high-cost cover
- occupational health care
- outpatient care (outpatient care/day care for non-inpatients can be provided, for example, at health centres, by social services and hospital wards.)
- maternity care center
- blood donation
- examinations or treatments, within the high-cost cover, by dentists or doctors and in case of acute dental problems.
Advice in the terms and conditions agreement to chapter 9 § 1 Leave with pay
Leave according to this paragraph is granted on the condition that the doctor's visit (equivalent) needs to be done during working hours.
For example:
- An employee who is part-time on sick leave is prescribed physiotherapy. The visits to the physiotherapist should be arranged during non- working hours firstly. If this is not possible, then this is applicable.
- A visit to occupational health care, outpatient care or a maternity center does not only mean a visit to a doctor, but also, for example, a district nurse, physiotherapist, counselor, or midwife.
Visit´s for accompanying partner at the maternity care centre
If necessary, an employee who is about to become a parent, but is not pregnant, may take time off without salary deduction on two occasions per pregnancy to accompany a visit to the maternity care center.
Please notice:
This provision does not apply from the sixtieth day before the estimated time of the child's birth until the day of delivery, as parental allowance can then be paid according to the Social Insurance Code (SFB).
