Calculate and register deductions for caring for a sick child
Here’s how the deduction is calculated.
For employees with the Complete employment type, the deduction for caring for a sick child and the pay codes are added automatically when the absence is registered in the calendar or on the payslip. For employees with the Simplified employment type, you’ll need to calculate and register the absence pay codes manually.
The deduction for caring for a sick child is always calculated for each hour the employee has been absent.

Example of how to calculate the deduction
The employee has a monthly salary of 25 000 kronor and works 5 days a week, 8 hours per day. The employee's weekly working hours are therefore 40 hours.
The employee is off work for 8 hours to care for a sick child.
(Monthly salary x 12) / (52 x Weekly working hours)
(25 000 x 12) / (52 x 40)
(300 000) / (2 080) = 144.23 kronor
Here’s what the payslip could look like in this example, rounded to whole kronor:
