The Short-Time Work Allowance scheme has been extended up to and including June 2021. Known as korttidsarbete or korttidspermittering in Swedish, the Short-Time Work Allowance provides financial support for personnel costs.

Employees are ineligible for unemployment benefit for any work covered by the Short-Time Work Allowance scheme. However, it is possible to qualify if you are also unemployed from other work.

The Short-Time Work Allowance will not negatively affect your unemployment benefits. If you lose your job after being covered by the Short-Time Work Allowance scheme, your unemployment benefits will normally be based on your pre-scheme salary. We will only count your Short-Time Work Allowance salary if it is better for you.
