Short description
The aim of the procurement is to acquire more knowledge on the shielding scheme for recipients of sick pay with a risk of a lot of sickness absence and the insurance scheme to protect small companies from sick pay expenses. The procurement is related to proposals in the Employment Committee (NOU 2021:2 Competence, Activity, and Income Protection - Measures for Increased Employment), which propose, amongst other things, a partial shift in employers' financing responsibilities for long term absences against employers paying less for short term absences.
