The A-kassa unemployment insurance fund can pay you unemployment benefit while you are looking for a new job.
On your timesheets you’ll register what you’ve done each week so that we can calculate the correct compensation for you.
It’s important that you register all the time in the timesheet, if you were unemployed as well as if you weren’t.
For example, if you were working or if something prevented you from looking for a job.
It’s very important that this is correct. You solemny swear that the report is accurate.
If the information is incorrect and you receive the wrong compensation, you will have to pay it back.
If you’re working, there are various ways of filling in your timesheet. It depends on the nature of your employment.
Start by looking at what the employment contract your employer gave you says.
There it will say whether you have to work a certain number of hours and/or a certain percentage.
It may also be the case that you do not have fixed working hours, but are instead what is called an hourly employee.
If you’re unsure about anything, please give us a call. We’ll happily help you.
If you’re employed for a certain percentage of time, you must always register that percentage on your timeheets.
That way the time you work can be distributed over the week.
It doesn’t matter what your exact schedule was.
Even if you work different numbers of hours over different weeks, you must register the same percentage.
If you work beyond your regular working hours, for example, additional hours or overtime,
you must register the hours for each day under “Arbete” (work).
Tony is employed 65 percent of full-time, as stated in his employment contract.
Therefore he must register 65 percent on his timesheet.
On Thursday he worked 3 hours extra. These were additional hours beyond Tony’s regular schedule.
Therefore, he must also register 3 hours of work on Thursday.
On Friday he was sick. So he must register that he was sick on Friday.
This is what his timesheet looks like.
If you have variable working hours without a schedule, you should not register a specific percentage.
Instead you must register the number of hours you work each day.
Register all the hours you worked on the right day under “Arbete” (work).
Maria is an hourly employee.
On Monday and Tuesday, Maria worked 6 hours on each day. She registers this under “Arbete” (work).
On Wednesday, Maria had to care for her child. Therefore she fills in “Vård av barn” (child care) for Wednesday.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Maria was unemployed. She registers this under “Arbetslös” (unemployed).
On Sunday, Maria worked 3.5 hours, Maria registers this under “Arbete” (work).
This is what her timesheet looks like.
Keep in mind that if you’ve been on vacation,
or unable to look for and accept a job, been sick, or on parental leave.
Then you must register this for each day.
