Employers that report sick leave to Försäkringskassan without logging in lose that channel on 31 October 2026.Forsakringskassan From 1 November, reporting a sick employee (sjukanmälan) requires the employer to be connected to Försäkringskassan's e-services and logged in as an employer.

Previously the end of logged-out reporting was dated only vaguely as "during the autumn"Forsakringskassan, alongside an urging to connect by 31 October at the latest
Forsakringskassan. The transition now has fixed dates at both ends: the old service ends on 31 October, and the login requirement applies from 1 November. The earlier banner also advertised connection as a way to additionally file control statements (kontrolluppgifter) and apply for compensation (ersättningar) through the same e-services; that framing is gone, leaving a narrower message centred on sick reporting. The substance is a channel obligation — how reports reach Försäkringskassan — not a change to sick-pay rules.

In practice the employer files the sick report inside the logged-in employer e-services, where the most-used services also include applications for workplace-oriented rehabilitation support grants. Employers that already report while logged in see no change, but any routine built around the logged-out form needs updating, including saved links and written instructions that point at the old service, and the person filing must hold employer login accessForsakringskassan.
The channel change leaves the underlying employer duties untouched: assessing, paying and calculating sjuklön, applying the karensavdrag deduction, handling work injuries, and the rules on närståendepenning for employees caring for a seriously ill relative continue exactly as before.Forsakringskassan Only the route by which the sick report itself is filed changes.
