Suspension agreement or collective agreement through TechSverige?

How suspension agreements work and why they are often a more expensive solution

A hanging agreement is usually more expensive and more complicated compared to a collective agreement through an employer organization.
By signing a collective agreement through TechSverige, you can reduce your costs, while at the same time enjoying valuable benefits that you miss out on when you sign a hanging agreement.

What is a suspension agreement?

A suspension agreement means that you as an employer sign a collective agreement directly with a trade union organization without going through an employer organization. This means that you can neither influence the process nor take advantage of the benefits, support and resources that come with membership of TechSverige.
