WHAT to expect
Norway Employment Law
The 2.8 million Norwegian workers are protected by the Working Environment Act (Arbeidsmiljøloven). Unions set additional requirements in collective bargaining agreements for 50% of Norwegian workers.
The standard working week in Norway is 37.5-40 hours a week, worked over 5 days per week. Any hours worked over 40 per week, or 9 per day are considered to be overtime.
Payroll in Norway
In Norway, the payroll frequency is set in the employment contract by mutual agreement between the employer and employee. There is a mandated minimum payment frequency of once per month.
There is no mandated requirement for a 13th salary payment in Norway.
Norway has no minimum wage mandated at a national level. Instead, various collective agreements stipulate various minimum wages across different sectors, industries and specific occupations.


Working hours in Norway
The maximum shift length is 13 hours in a 24 hour period, with a minimum continuous break of 11 hours mandated between shifts.
Overtime is only permitted in exceptional circumstances and for a brief period of time. Overtime as a permanent arrangement is not permitted.
For the general workforce, overtime hours may not exceed 10 hours over a period of seven days, 25 hours over a period of four consecutive weeks, and 200 hours over a period of 52 consecutive weeks.
Terminations in Norway
Except for situations when a fixed-term contract has ended or during the probationary period, terminations must be for cause. Before making a final termination decision, employers must inform their staff of their desire to do so.
In Norway, severance packages are not mandated by law. An employee’s salary and other contractual benefits will continue as normal during the notice period.
