What to do before you start your employment

Örebro University uses the bank Danske bank for salary payments. Depending on what kind of account you have, there are different routines for your payment.

If you move here from another country, make sure to notify Human Resources (HR) when you get a Swedish address. This is to avoid technical issues with your salary payments. 

If you are here for more than a year, you should register in the Swedish population register at the Swedish tax agency. When you do, you will get a Swedish personal identity number. It is important that you notify HR when you get your personal identity number.

If you are relocating to Sweden or if you in addition to Örebro university have another employer outside of Sweden, you need to contact The Swedish tax agency and register for preliminary A-tax, or to apply for special income tax for non-residents (SINK). The Tax Agency needs to reach a decision on whether you should pay preliminary A-tax or SINK so that Örebro university can deduct tax accordingly. Inform HR about the decision.

When you visit a service center to apply for a personal number and have not yet registered for A-tax or applied for SINK, you should be able to apply there.

You can start your employment before the Tax Agency has reached a decision on A-tax or SINK.

SINK

If you will be staying in Sweden for a short period, less than 6 months, you can apply for special income tax for non-residents (SINK). Read more about SINK at Skatteverket. Contact lonesupport@oru.se if you have questions.

If you are relocating to Sweden or if you in addition to Örebro university have another employer outside of Sweden, you need to contact Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) regarding whether you should be insured in Sweden or not.

When working in more countries than one, Försäkringskassan issues a certificate showing what country’s social security system you are covered by. If you are not covered by the Swedish Security system according to an A1 certificate its important that you send that information to HR (lonesupport@oru.se) so Örebro university can pay employer contributions to the right country.
