Sweden has no statutory minimum wage: collective agreements set pay and often pensions. Under the Temporary Agency Work Act, a staffing company must give a worker at least the basic conditions they'd have had if you hired them directly, unless it applies a qualifying collective agreement.
Employer contributions are the main statutory cost. The best EOR for Sweden explains whether it uses a collective agreement, how it meets equal treatment, and what occupational pension it offers.

Ask whether the provider is bound by a collective agreement, which one, and what it means for pay and pension.
- 2
Equal treatment
Without a qualifying collective agreement, the worker must get at least your own basic conditions, including pay (the equal-pay rule doesn't apply to open-ended employees paid between assignments). Ask how the provider checks this.
- 3
Employment protection
Dismissal needs objective grounds, and notice rises from 1 to 6 months with service. Ask what the provider's contracts and processes include.
