ledighet

“Ledighet” is a Swedish term that translates to “leave” or “time off” in English. It refers to a period during which an individual is not required to perform their regular work duties, often for reasons such as rest, vacation, personal matters, or special leave from employment. This time off can be planned, such as annual vacation, or unplanned, such as sick leave. “Ledighet” can also encompass various types of leave, including parental leave, study leave, and other forms of absence from work sanctioned by an employer or according to labor laws. The concept emphasizes the right of employees to take breaks from work for their well-being, productivity, and work-life balance.
