Employer certificate

When the unemployment fund assesses whether someone meets the income requirement for compensation, we can retrieve income details directly from Skatteverket. In many cases, the individual can provide the additional information we need about the work, but sometimes more details are required from the employer. In those cases, it almost always concerns the most recent employment. If we need further information, we will contact either the unemployed person or the employer directly.

Information the unemployment fund may require for compensation

When we need additional details about a previous job or employer, it almost always concerns your most recent employment. Below is a list of information we may request:

  • Employer’s name and registration number

  • Employment period, especially the final day of full-time employment

  • Reason for termination of employment

  • Offer of continued work

  • Details about continued employment and its scope

  • Information about leave of absence

  • Agreement on severance pay

Submit the information you have

When applying for compensation, you must report which jobs and positions you’ve held and why you are now unemployed. The exact information needed varies by case. Here are some examples:

  • If you had a fixed-term contract: upload a copy of the employment certificate

  • If you were laid off: upload a copy of the termination notice

  • If you agreed on severance pay: upload a copy of the agreement

  • If you resigned: explain the reasons and state your final day of employment

  • If we need more information, we’ll contact either you or your employer directly.
