Swedish Workplace Discrimination Complaint Form

Swedish Workplace Discrimination Complaint Form

Workplace discrimination is a serious matter that affects employees across Sweden, and having a compliant, structured process for reporting incidents is essential for both employers and employees. This Swedish Workplace Discrimination Complaint Form is designed specifically for Swedish organizations to handle discrimination complaints in accordance with Diskrimineringsombudsmannen (DO) guidelines and Swedish employment law.

Purpose and Compliance

This form template helps Swedish employers, HR departments, and legal teams document discrimination complaints systematically while ensuring compliance with Swedish equality legislation. The form captures all necessary information required by the Discrimination Act (Diskrimineringslagen) and provides a clear pathway for investigation and resolution.

The template covers all seven grounds of discrimination recognized under Swedish law: sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation, and age. It also addresses various forms of discriminatory behavior including direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, and retaliation.
