the School Board can make regulations whereby these teachers obtain
a more permanent position.
Salaries. The minimum salary of a regular elementary school teacher
(ordinarie) is on the first scale 900 kronor, on the second 1 050, on the third
1 200, and on the fourth 1 350 kronor, the salary rising to the next higher
scale after five years. The minimum salary of women teachers is likewise 900
kronor on the first scale; but they have what is called a periodic increment for
years of service (ålderstillägg) of 100 kronor every five years, their salary after
15 years of service being thus 1 200 kronor. In addition to their salary the teachers
have free lodging and fuel, or equivalent, besides which, where this is possible,
they have the disposal of a plot of ground. This salary is paid for 8 month’s
service. Every additional month is remunerated with one-eight of the salary.
There is an extra salary for teaching in the "continuation school". If an
elementary school teacher also teaches sloyd, he receives extra remuneration for it.

In the towns and in many places in the country the parishes give
considerably higher salaries than the above, in consideration of the higher costs of living.
A regular elementary school teacher is entitled to a pension of 75 % of
the statutory salary on the highest scale, or 1 013 kronor for male teachers
and 900 kronor for female. In several school districts the parishes grant an
increment to this pension. On the other hand, the teacher is himself bound
to pay a fee to the Widows’ and Orphans’ Pension Fund from which his
survivors receive a pension. Teachers in infant schools and smaller elementary
schools and non-regular teachers in elementary schools proper are likewise
entitled to a pension from an Old Age Pension Fund established for their benefit.
The amount of this pension is at present 450 kronor.
