Assignments

If you are offered an assignment, we must assess whether it is considered employment or self-employment. If it is considered self-employment, you are not entitled to benefits as long as the business activity is ongoing. Therefore, it is important to contact us in advance to avoid incorrect benefit payments.

As long as you are not applying for benefits, you can of course take on assignments. With us, both business owners and employees can be members.

Assignments as self-employment

If the assignment is considered self-employment, you are not entitled to benefits until the assignment activity has completely ended. To be on the safe side, contact us before the assignment begins.

  • If you invoice the assignment using your own F- or F/A-tax certificate or through a relative’s company, you are considered self-employed.

  • If you use an invoicing company such as Frilans Finans or Cool Company, it may in some cases still be considered self-employment, even though the invoicing company pays taxes and social security contributions.

Assignments as employment

If the assignment is considered employment, you may receive benefits between assignments and sometimes in combination with the assignment if it is part-time.

We need to know:

  • When the assignment starts and ends.

  • What you will be paid for and the principle for the payment.

How to apply:

  • Request a written agreement and upload it in Mina sidor so we can assess your eligibility for benefits during the assignment and how it should be reported on the time report.

  • If there is no written agreement, you must provide equivalent information and the contact details of the client so we can assess the nature and scope of the assignment in advance.

  • When the assignment ends, request via Mina sidor that the client reports the work performed in an employer certificate.
