NEW requirements for Norwegian employment contracts!
January 16, 2024
We present changes in regulations regarding employment contracts in Norway! New regulations, resulting from the EU directive, introduce fresh standards for companies operating in the Norwegian market. Novum specializes in accounting for foreign businesses in Norway and Norwegian companies. We have prepared a concise guide for you on key changes.
Key points of the new employment contract in Norway:
Redefined Workplace: In the absence of a fixed workplace or main location, the contract must include information on whether the employee works in different locations or has the freedom to choose a workplace. Clarification does not change the rules for remote work access.
Employee Leasing: If employees are leased through a temporary employment agency, the contract must include the client's information.
Competence Development: The contract should include any training offered by the employer.
Remuneration: Components of the compensation should be specified separately.
Working Hours: If the daily and weekly working hours are flexible, this information should be stated in the contract.
New deadline for signing employment contracts in Norway:
An important change concerns the deadline for signing an employment contract with an employee. Previously, the contract had to be signed as soon as possible, not exceeding 30 days. After the latest changes, an employment contract with an employee in Norway must be signed within 7 days of the start of employment.
Where can one find a template for the new employment contract in Norway?
The template also includes instructions for proper completion of the contract. For employees posted from other countries to Norway, the contract template can serve as a posting attachment from the country of origin.
