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 pay slips
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.
