The formal salary setting criteria agreed with the unions are described below. I have only kept the part for researchers and teachers (and cut out the part for administrative and technical support).

For salary reviews based on the local agreements for SACO, Fackförbundet ST and SEKO, the criteria in this document should be used. The criteria are not listed in order of priority.
In the setting of salaries, different dimensions will be prominent, and depending on the types of tasks, they will be of different importance. The salary should be based on objective factors built on criteria that are based on the employees' contribution to business and operational development. It is important that it is the actual work tasks and how they are performed that is evaluated.
It is important to know and understand the difference between salary reviews and performance appraisals. Performance appraisals are mandatory, annual talks between managers and employees, which both follow-up and look forwards. The salary review monitors and evaluates the employee's performance since the last salary review.
