Swedish term

veckovila

Swedish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) supply / contractor's agreement
Could anyone please confirm that this is the equivalent of 'time off in lieu' in English, where overtime has been worked and time off is given instead of extra payment? Otherwise, please advise if the arrangements are different in Sweden, as I'm not fully familiar with this.
TIA,
Helen

weekly rest period

Veckovila
Enligt 14 § arbetstidslagen skall arbetstagarna ha minst 36 timmars sammanhängande ledighet under varje period om sju dagar. Till veckovilan räknas inte beredskapstid. Veckovilan skall så långt möjligt förläggas till veckoslut.

Undantag från reglerna om veckovila får göras tillfälligt om det föranleds av något särskilt förhållande som arbetsgivaren inte har kunnat förutse.

No, it has absolutely nothing to do with \'time off in lieu\'!
