But if the company is worried about access can't it just pay the employee the 1-3 months without allowing them to work, even in Sweden?

- Unfrozen0688 3y agoI am unsure actually as I am not an employer. I am sure it is possible but probably for sensitive jobs like military or something. Some links if you want to google translate https://www.unionen.se/rad-och-stod/uppsagningstider-om-din-arbetsgivare-sager-upp-dig https://www.unionen.se/rad-och-stod/uppsagningstider-om-din-... There is "duty of loyalty" where you can get sued for leaks etc https://www.unionen.se/rad-och-stod/om-lojalitetsplikt-och-lagen-om-foretagshemligheter https://www.unionen.se/rad-och-stod/om-lojalitetsplikt-och-l...
- emj 3y agoOf course we fire people in Sweden pay them and revoke their access, this is very uncommon I have only seen it once myself. Would like to note that, simply speaking, the rules change the more responsibility you have.
- permalac 3y agoI work with identities. I've worked in Spain, France and uk. 99% of lay off are agreed and there is no need for account termination, my current company let's you have your account open 30 days after your last day, so you can move data out to your next company.
- worthless-trash 3y agoSorry, move data out ? Can you expand on exactly what this means, as I imagine most companies would not want their data moved out to another company.
- saagarjha 3y agoPresumably things like "your credentials to the account that we deposit RSUs into" or "your picture of the beer they served in the cafeteria one time that you liked".
- notpushkin 3y agoPictures of beer aren't usually moved into your next employment place though, as GP implies, but rather to your own devices.
- MadsRC 3y agoYup, same in Denmark. It’s called “fritstilling” - basically they pay you severance equally to the amount of months you should have gotten advanced notice (3-many months). But there has to be a very good reason. Such as theft, or actual security worries.
- bsimpson 3y agoI believe this is called "garden leave" in the Commonwealth countries.
- Maxion 3y agoGardening leave is usually a term for a paid non-compete. I.e. you're not allowed to work in the same industry for 6 months, and you're paid salary for those months.
- com 3y ago“Gardening leave” is the polite fiction - much to do in your personal garden, so you are being given exceptional paid time off to deal with it. I have genuinely spent a lot of time once sorting out the vegetable beds during a period of gardening leave. It was VERY therapeutic!
- tomwojcik 3y agoYes, it's normal in IT in Europe to fire someone, revoke their access and still pay them for 1-3 months. On the other hand many IT professionals work b2b so some of the normal employment policies do not apply. On b2b contract the other side usually is obliged to pay for 1 month.
- 4hg4ufxhy 3y agoYes, at least in Finland the penalty for not adhering to the notice periods is full pay during that time. But I never heard of it happening.
