V wants the waiting period allowance to be reintroduced as a temporary crisis measure. The party points out that commercial employees, health and social care staff and, for example, bus drivers cannot work from home when they become ill.
A reintroduced qualifying allowance would cost the state SEK 1.6 billion, but means just over SEK 10,000 more per year for a family where both parents are members of Kommunal. According to V, the deduction from the qualifying period constitutes a clear class injustice.
