Simplify Payroll & Compliance in Sweden and Norway

At Cool Company, we specialize in providing Umbrella Payroll solutions, ensuring that businesses and recruitment agencies can easily and compliantly engage contractors in the Nordics.

How Our Umbrella Payroll Solution Works

Payment & Reporting: Contractors receive their salaries on time, and we provide all necessary reporting to authorities to ensure full compliance.
Navigating Employment Laws in Sweden & Norway
The Nordic labor markets are highly regulated, with strong protections for workers. When hiring in Sweden or Norway, it’s essential to be aware of:
Data Protection & Anti-Discrimination: Employers must comply with strict GDPR regulations and ensure equal treatment regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, or age.
Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs): Many industries have agreements that set employment conditions beyond statutory labor laws. Understanding these is crucial for compliance.
Employment Contracts: Permanent contracts are the norm in Sweden unless otherwise specified. Fixed-term contracts longer than two years automatically convert to indefinite contracts.
Taxation & Social Security: Both Sweden and Norway have comprehensive tax and social security systems. Employers must handle tax deductions and pension contributions correctly to avoid penalties.
With a proven track record, we’ve successfully handled contractors for over 500 leading enterprises and recruitment firms. Here’s just a glimpse of our valued clientele
