At the same time, the salary is increased corresponding to the industry standard, i.e. by 6.4 percent over two years.
This is the implication of the collective agreement TechSverige IT. According to Sveriges Ingenjörer, it is the first time a reduction in working hours is introduced in the service sector.
"The most important achievement has been to establish a reduction in working hours. Our goal is to establish a model with time banks that we can build up with more time in the future", says Ulrika Lindstrand, chairperson of Sveriges Ingenjörer, in a press release.
The agreement has been signed between the employer organization TechSverige and the trade unions Sveriges Ingenjörer, Akavia, and Unionen.
