Evaluation and Review of a Shielding Scheme for Recipients of Sick Pay with a Risk of a Lot of Sickness Absence and an Insurance Scheme for Small Companies

Kort beskrivning

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.
