What is an Employer of Record (EOR) in Sweden?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a service that allows a company to hire employees in a country without opening a local entity. In Sweden, the EOR becomes the employee’s formal employer and takes responsibility for:
compliant employment contracts under Swedish rules
payroll and payslips
taxes and employer contributions
mandatory reporting and employer obligations
pension and insurance arrangements
You, as the client company, direct the employee’s daily work and retain the commercial relationship.

Often within a day once we have the key details (role, salary, start date, employee info). The onboarding team will confirm the exact timeline for your case.
Do we need a Swedish entity (AB) to hire in Sweden?
No. That’s the point of an EOR. WorkNode employs the person locally and runs payroll and compliance.
Who manages the employee day-to-day?
You do. You assign tasks, manage performance, and decide priorities. WorkNode handles employment, payroll and compliance.

Everything needed for a compliant Swedish employment setup: contract, onboarding, payroll, reporting, pension solution, insurance coverage and HR support. SEK 1,995 / month / employee.
Are there any hidden fees or percentage markups?

Can we move to our own Swedish entity later?
Yes. Many companies start with EOR to enter Sweden quickly, then switch to their own entity when it makes sense.
Can you support multiple employees and ongoing hiring?
