Preventive healthcare

If you are employed at least 50% of full time, you are entitled to one hour of preventive healthcare per week when your duties permit this. All employees are offered a preventive healthcare reimbursement of up to SEK 2,500 per year.

Reimbursement for preventive healthcare

Reimbursement for preventive healthcare follows the calendar year. If you are not employed for the entire year, you are reimbursed in proportion to your months of employment.
An application for reimbursement for the current year must be received by HR by 7 December.
If you end your employment earlier during the year, you must submit your receipts no later than your last day of employment.

To apply for a reimbursement for preventive healthcare:

Submit the original receipt for your activity and the "Ansökan om friskvårdsbidrag" form (see below). Internal: Lön, HR-avd, MA plan 8. External: Södertörns högskola, Lön HR-avd, MA plan 8, 141 89 Huddinge.
