The Saco-S Council at Lund University

In December, Saco-S negotiated with Lund University on behalf of 10 members who had received a demand for repayment of a large gross salary debt at the end of the year. The gross salary debt has arisen, not because they themselves have done anything wrong, but because the Government Service Centre (SSC) has changed its calculation model for sick pay. Most of them have a gross salary debt of around SEK 20,000, but in several cases the debt has also become much larger than that.

In October 2024, Saco-S at Lund University sent out a survey to all salary-setting managers who are members of a Saco-S union. The survey results show that more than half of the academic managers are dissatisfied with the salary-setting process. Only 33% consider salary-setting appraisals to be useful for justifying individual salary. Here is a short summary of the results and Saco-S will publish the full report shortly.

From autumn 2024, we will be organising training courses and seminars on health and safety at work and health and safety law. We want to add expertise to our Saco health and safety representatives and build a network where their experience from different parts of the organisation will benefit others.
