Insurance

Insurance foremployed staff

All employees are covered by the Work Injury Insurance, one of Sweden’s social insurance schemes, administered by the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan). Additionally, all employees are covered by the Agreement on Compensation for Personal Injury (PSA), administered by Afa Insurance.

As a manager, you need to make sure that occupational injuries and occupational diseases are reported to Försäkringskassan via the IA system. The employee must then apply for compensation themselves. HR can provide support to both the manager and the employee. Decisions regarding compensation, as well as any payments, are made by Försäkringskassan and Afa Insurance.
