The Service

Gigapay provides an administrative support service and handles invoicing, salary payouts, and so forth, which constitute a practical solution for the User and the Client, who do not have to handle the administration themselves. Gigapay seeks to facilitate cooperation between the two parties in the new so-called gig economy.

After having registered with Gigapay, the User takes the full responsibility of procuring and fulfilling assignments that generate revenue and is bound, in relation to Gigapay, not to hold Gigapay liable for any form of claim for compensation that the Client may have towards Gigapay, despite Gigapay being the formal counterparty of the Client.

Use of Gigapay

Employment only occurs if the User has been approved and registered by Gigapay and the User has committed to an assignment through Gigapay. Activities that are not directly linked to the assignment are not covered by the employment. The employment ends when the User has fulfilled the assignment for the Client.

To use the Service, you have to be over 16 years of age and have consent from the guardian if under the age of 18. In addition, you are required to have a Swedish personal number or coordination number, a Swedish bank account, and permission to work in Sweden.

It is not allowed to register on Gigapay with someone else’s ID, BankID, or work permit. It is illegal to borrow someone else’s personal document and pretend to be that person (misuse of document).

The salary is entirely based on “commission” and is dependant on the Client paying for the User’s delivery of services. The following conditions are applicable in regards to the assignment:

• The assignment is procured and fulfilled by the User and the corresponding invoice is sent to the Client by Gigapay. The invoiced amount is converted into salary and holiday compensation, in accordance with the Swedish vacation law (Swedish: “Semesterlagen”), which is then paid out to the bank account designated by the User after the full payment has been transferred to Gigapay.
• The invoicing is facilitated by the Client specifying the details, which then are approved by the User.
• The User is aware of assignments invoiced through Gigapay entails that the User is employed by Gigapay. The form of employment is a so-called general fixed-term employment (Swedish: “allmän visstidsanställning”) in accordance with § 5 lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd. The time period of the fixed-term employment corresponds to the time period of the assignment, which always is required to be specified for each individual assignment. In the event a new time period for an assignment is commenced, a new fixed-term employment is commenced.
• The employment is terminated on the last day of the employment, which coincides with the last day for the current assignment, without preceding termination.
• The User is reliable for agreeing with the Clients in regards what tasks the assignment entails.
• The invoiced amount for the assignment is recalculated to salary and paid out by Gigapay to the User as follows:
  - Invoiced amount with deductions for statutory VAT (Swedish: “moms”), Gigapay’s service fee and statutory social fees.
  - Gigapay retain preliminary income tax for the corresponding salary payout.
  - The salary is paid out after the Client has paid the invoice issued by Gigapay in full.
  - Gigapay will not compensate for overtime/added time, travelling time and inconvenient working hours.
  - The User is, in accordance with Semesterlagen § 5 not entitled to vacation leave during the employment. However, the User is entitled to compensation for the vacation of 12% of paid out salary, which is included in the aforementioned amount of salary.
  - The User receives statutory pension and insurance benefits since Gigapay pays social fees.
  - Gigapay will not assist the User in adjusting provisional tax (Swedish: “jämkning av preliminärskatt”).
