VD-avtal och dess betydelse för anställningstryggheten

Sammanfattning: The employment law in Sweden is very extensive compared to other countries. My aim with this essay is to compare the employment law for an employee with the employment protection for a CEO. The CEO is not protected by the employment Protection Act and therefore his terms of employment are completely up to the agreement he signs when he begins his employment. To do this I need to recite the main parts of the contract binding the CEO to his company. I need to explain the context of a non-competition clause, clause of secrecy, and furthermore explain how a employment contract for a CEO should look like. The main aim is then to look into which function the contract has in the gap between employment protection and the common contract law. To be able to answer this question, I have during the process of this essay compared four different employment contracts for CEO and compared them with relevant law. The last thing I have done is to look into case law from the Supreme Court and the Labour Court to find how the law and contracts are beeing applied in real life.
