Welcome as a new employee

A warm welcome to Södertörn University – the university south of the city!

At Södertörn, subjects, perspectives, people, and experiences come together.
Here, curiosity meets critical thinking.
Here, reality and research intertwine.

Welcome to become a part of us!

Get started

To help you get off to a good start, there are a few things you need to do to get started.

1. Register a bank account

University wages are paid via Danske Bank. If your account is with another bank, you must register your account details to get your wages paid into it. If you do not do this, you will be paid with a payment slip that you will have to deposit at your bank.
You must also enter the university's customer number: 79172.

Do you have a foreign address or no Swedish personal ID number? You must still register a bank account with Danske bank before payment is made. Please contact your local HR generalist.

2. Send us your tax certificate

You should send an “A-skattsedel” (A-tax certificate) to the payroll group so that the right preliminary tax can be subtracted from your pay. Send it to “lönegruppen, MA 813” in an internal post envelope.

3. Complete your personal details

The university’s payroll system is called Primula and contains most things to do with your employment. We would like you to add your personal details, such as your address and contact details for your next-of-kin.

Log in using your userID for Södertörn (SH-Account).
The password is the same as for the university networks.

4. Create an email signature

There is a template for email signatures at the university. Please use this, because a common design for our email signatures gives a coherent impression and strengthens our brand.

5. Update your profile page

Everyone employed by the government is expected to follow the common core values for public sector employees. These values are fundamental to your professional role.
Democracy is the overarching principle.
