Severance pay costs and employee hiring practices

Kungsholmen politicians from the Moderate, Liberal, and Christian Democrat parties inquired about the number of employees receiving severance pay and the reasons why. The administration reported that 11 employees received severance pay in 2025 at a cost of over 2.9 million SEK, and a total of 29 between 2023-2025, citing disagreements over duties or cutbacks as potential reasons. They also outlined their reference and recruitment processes to avoid hiring individuals with past misconduct, noting a lack of comparative statistics with other city districts.
