Correct personnel data in KTH’s IT systems
KTH is
now adapting to the way Swedish authorities manage personal data. This means
that KTH employees’ first and last names, as well as home addresses, will
correspond with the information registered at the Swedish Tax Agency
(Skatteverket). Employees who are affected by changes to their first or last
name will receive an email informing them that their information in KTH-HR
differs from the information registered with the Swedish Tax Agency.
