The main legislations concerning the measures to support disabled workers in Sweden are SFS 2000:630 and SFS 2000:628. These measures are mainly administered by the Public Employment Services.
The 1977 Act on Environment in Working Life (AML), amended in 2008, states that both public and private sector employers must take the necessary measures to improve working conditions. The provisions include risk prevention and the adjustment of the workplace based on each worker’s needs, including disabled workers.
The revised 1982 Act on Job Retention (LAS) regulates redundancies.
Under this legislation, employers must present substantial evidence of misconduct or other reasons to dismiss an employee. Disability or sickness is not valid reasons to terminate employment.
The Act on Social Insurance, amended in 2008, is a legal package that governs a wide range of disability and sickness-related benefits, pensions and support schemes. This legislation supports workers who have fallen out of employment due to disability or long-term medical condition and helps them to move back into work through rehabilitation programmes. The scheme involves the Social Insurance Office, Public Employment Services, employers and regional health care agencies.
The Developing Employment scheme targets a better job inclusion for disabled workers. Arrangements are available to provide the disabled worker with specific training, if required, and other tailored adjustments when starting a new job. The scheme provides a wage subsidy to the employer and personal support to both the employer and employee for up to a year.
As part of the Technical Aid and Adaptation scheme, the disabled employee may receive an allowance for personal technical aid and the employer may receive funding to adjust the workplace. The scheme is available for new hired disabled employees as part of the wage subsidy scheme and it is paid for the Public Employment Services. For existing employees who acquire a disability or in the case of on-going employment without wage subsidy the scheme is paid for by the Public Insurance Office.
Disabled workers who require personal assistance may receive it in 2 ways. The first scheme offers the funds the cover the appointment of an existing employee to assist the disabled employee. The second option concerns disabled workers who require assistance in both their personal and professional lives. They are eligible for a specific allowance to cover the hire of a personal assistant who will provide them with the necessary support in both their private and job related tasks.
