Version 1.3 - Published 2025-12-12
These general terms and conditions ("General Terms and Conditions") apply to the Worknode Flex service between Worknode Freelance AB, reg. no. 559156-1294 ("Worknode"), and a self-employed person ("Self-employed Person").
Worknode's Personal Data Policy and Cookie Policy, which can be read on Worknode's website www.worknode.se under the heading "Agreements and General Terms and Conditions", form an integral part of these General Terms and Conditions.
Definition of Worknode Flex
Worknode Flex is Worknode's basic service for self-employment per assignment, where the Self-Employed can invoice without his own company and is employed by Worknode for each registered assignment. These terms and conditions apply only to the use of the Worknode Flex service.
Possibility to be covered by the collective agreement
The self-employed person has the opportunity to pre-notify their assignments according to Worknode's rules and will then be covered by the current Collective Agreement for Swedish Employees - Worknode.
Pre-registration is done by the self-employed person filling in and sending in a special form https://www.worknode.se/foranmalan
Once Worknode has confirmed the notification, the self-employed person is covered by the collective agreement, which means that
conditions on pay, working time, vacation, sick pay and notice period are regulated by the agreement,
insurance under § 7.3 (TGL and TFA) applies, and
any disputes will be interpreted in accordance with the agreement and its terms.
If no prior notification has been made, only these General Terms and Conditions (corresponding to Worknode Flex) apply and the Self-employed person is not covered by the collective agreement or its associated insurance.
The collective agreement only applies during the period that the assignment is performed and requires that the self-employed person has a valid account with Worknode. WorkNode registers everyone who pre-notifies their assignment and is thus covered by the collective agreement as a member of Svenska Medarbetare. Membership is free, Svenska Medarbetare is a trade union organization for freelancers whose sole purpose is to collect collective agreements.

If the price agreed by the Self-employed person with the Client is less than 0.5 price base amounts, Worknode's maximum liability shall instead be limited to an amount corresponding to 0.1 price base amounts.
10.10 In the event that liability is established for Worknode to compensate third parties for damage or loss incurred within the framework of the Assignment on other grounds than what is regulated within the framework of these terms and conditions, e.g. non-contractual grounds, it is the responsibility of the Self-employed person to indemnify Worknode and pay compensation to Worknode corresponding to what Worknode has been forced to pay to third parties and Worknode's costs for meeting and disputing claims.
11. SECRECY
The Self-Employed Person shall not, either during the employment or after its termination (unless required by the Self-Employed Person's performance of his or her duties under the contract with Worknode or by law), use or disclose to any other person or company any information relating to Worknode or the Client which Worknode or the Client may reasonably be expected to wish to keep confidential.
12. PERSONAL DATA
12.1 In order to administer matters relating to the employment relationship between the Self-employed person and Worknode, Worknode will process the Self-employed person's personal data in accordance with Worknode's personal data policy, www.worknode.se/dina-personuppgifter-och-hur-vi-hanterar-dem.
12.2 The Self-Employed hereby consents to all processing of personal data by Worknode for the purposes set out in Worknode's Privacy Policy.
13. EARLY TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT, CREDITING OF INVOICES AND RECOVERY
13.1 If the Self-employed person grossly neglects his obligations under the employment contract or otherwise grossly neglects his obligations towards Worknode, Worknode is entitled to terminate the agreement with the Self-employed person with immediate effect.
13.2 In the event that the Customer disputes the invoice and Worknode can establish that the Self-employed person (i) has not performed part or all of the Assignment or has grossly neglected the performance of the Assignment, or (ii) the Self-employed person has otherwise acted in bad faith and given Worknode incorrect information about the content, scope or other relevant circumstances of the Assignment, Worknode is entitled to both terminate the agreement and to revoke and credit the invoice issued to the Customer.
13.3 In the event that the invoice to the customer for the Assignment has been revoked and credited by Worknode as a result of the Self-employed person not having performed work or been grossly negligent in the performance, Worknode is entitled to reclaim any salary and other remuneration paid to the Self-employed person for the performance of the Assignment. The amount that the self-employed person has to repay to Worknode includes the total gross amount, i.e. including preliminary tax paid by Worknode to the Swedish Tax Agency.
13.4 For the self-employed person's fulfillment of repayment of incorrectly paid salary and compensation, Worknode is entitled, in the first instance, to make a salary deduction on the salary not yet paid to the self-employed person and, in the second instance, to claim repayment of the net salary paid to the self-employed person.
13.5 The Self-employed person undertakes to fully participate in adjusting or requesting a refund of the preliminary tax that Worknode has paid to the Swedish Tax Agency and to pay the amount to Worknode immediately after receiving the refund. In the event that an adjustment is obtained, the self-employed person must repay the amount to Worknode within 30 days from the date of the adjustment notice. In the event that repayment has not taken place earlier, repayment must be made no later than 60 days after the Self-employed person has received the final tax assessment for the year to which the compensation is attributable.
14. NOTIFICATION
The Giggare is responsible for ensuring that the insurance offered by Worknode covers the type of work to be performed. If there is no insurance for the assignment, Worknode will not enter into any employment with the Self-employed person. Notification of rejection of the pre-notification will not be given as no employment relationship thus exists.
Pre-notification can only be made for a maximum of 4 weeks and each day must be specified with dates, hours and compensation. If the assignment extends over a longer period, the Self-employed person is therefore required to continuously send pre-notification for the coming period. An assignment can be pre-notified at the earliest five (5) days before the start of the assignment and must be supported by a valid agreement from the client.
