Parental leave

The employee has the right to take full-time leave of absence at 100% until the child is 18 months old. Upon adoption of a child, the 18-month period begins from the day the child is in the employee’s care. You are entitled to leave of absence whether or not you are compensated from Försäkringskassan.

VAB – sick child leave/temporary parental leave

VAB, the temporary parental leave benefit is used when the child is ill or when the regular caregiver is ill or otherwise unable to care for the child. The benefit may be transferred to another person, in case neither of the parents can take the time off, for instance gainfully employed grandparents or another person.

Note: If the regular caretaker is ill, this must be verified with a doctor’s certificate from the eighth day of illness.

Manuals and handbooks

From 2019, PAYE income reports will be submitted monthly. This means that Uppsala University cannot repay taxes to the employee in case of wrongly paid-out salaries. It will now be even more important for employees to apply for leaves of absence well ahead of time in Primula Web, in order for the correct salary to be paid out and the correct tax be deducted.
