Contact HR when hiring hourly-payed employees
When hourly-payed employee is to be hired for an assignment, HR (via arvodister@abe.kth.se ) should be contacted for guidance before the work is promised and an agreement is made with the fee earner. The manager involves the HR officer for administrative support.
Employment confirmation and agreement
After consultation with HR (via arvodister@abe.kth.se ), the next step is to prepare an employment confirmation and an agreement for the assignment.
An employment confirmation for temporary employment is equivalent to an employment contract and is required to work as hourly-payed employee. HR checks if such a confirmation exists and informs the manager. If an employment confirmation is missing, HR will prepare one with information from the HR officer/manager. The employment confirmation should then be signed by the head of department and the employee.

It should be done in writing via email or using a template for the agreement. Contact HR (via arvodister@abe.kth.se ) to obtain a template. An agreement can be made for a maximum of three weeks at a time, after which a new one must be prepared. The prepared agreement should be submitted to the HR officer to be attached to the upcoming payment form.
