The Norwegian Working Environment Act (Arbeidsmiljøloven) spells out provisions for employee protections and workers’ rights, which apply to Norway’s workforce of 2.8 million. In addition to rights guaranteed by legislation, 50% of Norwegian employees belong to unions, which outline further rules in collective bargaining agreements.
Employees in Norway enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.
Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Norway.
There’s no government-mandated minimum wage in Norway. Employers are free to bargain with unions and individuals, depending on the role and industry. Despite the lack of a minimum wage, Norway has one of the highest average wages in the world, at around 640,000 NOK, equivalent to over $75,000.
The average salary in Oslo, Norway is currently around 31000 NOK per month after taxes as of 2021. That is around 3600 USD per month, and one of the highest average salaries for any European capital.
For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly installments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.
We can help you get a new employee started in Norway fast.

Non-union employees are entitled to four weeks and one day of paid time off annually, while unionized employees are entitled to five weeks of paid leave annually. However, holiday days are not paid in Norway. Every employee is entitled to 25 day vacation days, but whether these are considered paid leave days or not, will depend on whether these are deducted from salary. The annual five week entitlement will have to be deducted from the salary to be considered as paid leave. For practical reasons, one prescribed way of performing this salary deduction is through a holiday pay distribution in June every year. There will be no tax on the holiday pay earned from the previous year. The tax free holiday pay will cover for the lost income. The four weeks of vacation days are deducted from the monthly salary of the employee, and the extra week (to complete the 25 days) is deducted from the holiday pay.
There are 10 public holidays in Norway for which employees receive paid time off. However, employees typically must work during the holiday during the prior year to be eligible for paid leave the next year. Otherwise, the employee is entitled to unpaid time off.
Employees are entitled to paid sick leave starting the first day of an illness and lasting up to 52 weeks. Employers are responsible for paying sick leave from the first to the 16th day of an employee’s illness, after which the employee can draw benefits from the National Insurance Scheme for 50 weeks. During the first 3 days of sick leave it is not mandatory to have a doctor's certificate, after the 4th consecutive day it is a mandatory requirement.
New mothers are entitled to 54 weeks of paid maternity leave, compensated at a rate of 80% of their usual pay, or 100% if the employee exercises only 44 weeks of the leave entitlement.
Partners can share their spouses’ maternity leave entitlement except for the three weeks before and six weeks after delivery. An employee whose partner opts to take 54 weeks of maternity leave can have 22 weeks transferred to them by the partner.
Employees who have worked with the same employer for at least three years are entitled to three years of unpaid study leave, which can be taken in one stretch or broken into smaller time periods.
Occupational injury insurance is mandatory for Norweigan employees. If an employee is injured at their workplace, they must report the injury to the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) with proof that the accident happened at work. An employee is entitled to receive up to 72,662 NOK a year in compensation due to a work-related injury. If the employee is unable to work, they are entitled to disability compensation. This compensation will depend on the percentage of incapacity the employee is able to work.
- Hospitalization leave: Each parent is entitled to 10 days of annual leave should their child or child care provider fall ill. - Adoption: Adoptive parents can exercise the same leave entitlements available to birth parents.
Employee contracts can be terminated if a just cause is established, such as dishonesty, negligence, fraud, or any other work-related offenses. Employers are required to discuss the intention to terminate with employees before the decision is finalized.
Firstly, a period of 1 months notice period must be provided for all employees regardless of their tenure.
2 months notice: More than 5 years of Employment
3 months notice: More than 10 years of Employment
4 months notice: Employee who is over the age of 50
5 months notice: Employee who is over the age of 55
6 months notice: Employee who is over the age of 60
If the employee decides to leave, Norwegian employment law dictates that the employee will need to give a minimum of one month's notice.
There are no provisions for severance payments under Norwegian labor law.
Probation periods can last for up to six months under Norwegian regulations.

Offering life insurance is not mandatory in this country, but adding it can materially improve employees' financial security and peace of mind.
The Global Life Insurance offering provides flexible cover levels ranging from $50,000 USD to $600,000 USD, tailored to suit the company and its employees' needs and budgets.
This benefit includes two options:
The Basic Offering provides Life Insurance cover. If an employee dies, the beneficiary may receive a payout of up to 6 times the employee’s annual salary, subject to the chosen cover level. The payout cannot exceed the selected cover limit, regardless of salary.
Remote's Comprehensive Offering combines Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Permanent Disability (PD). For accidental death, dismemberment, or permanent disability, compensation may be up to 5 times the employee’s annual salary, capped at the plan's cover limit. The payout will not exceed the applicable cover limit, regardless of salary.
Be aware that some countries may charge insurance premium tax on employer-paid premiums. Premiums paid for employee life cover can also be treated as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK), meaning monthly premiums might be counted as part of the employee’s taxable income under local law. When life insurance is offered, it must be provided equally to all employees in that country.
Provides financial protection to beneficiaries following the death of an insured team member.
If a team member dies, beneficiary compensation cannot exceed 6 times the team member’s annual salary or the chosen cover level, whichever is lower.

Provides financial support to insured team members who suffer permanent total or permanent partial disability as a result of an accident or illness.
Compensation cannot exceed 5 times the team member's annual salary or the chosen cover level, whichever is lower. The insurer assesses the degree of permanent disability to determine the payout:

Disabilities between 33.33% and 66.67%: Compensation calculated as a percentage of the capped amount
Permanent disabilities exceeding 66.67%: Full capped compensation amount
For detailed examples of how compensation is calculated for Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Permanent Disability, refer to the help article.

Offering mental health benefits is not mandatory in this country, but making them available can materially improve employees' emotional wellbeing and overall productivity. Remote partners with a leading employee mental wellbeing provider to offer a comprehensive platform on desktop and mobile. It includes 1-to-1 therapy with a curated pool of high-quality therapists in over 35 languages. The platform’s matching service finds a suitable therapist within 48 hours, with a 98% success rate. Employees receive a personal wellbeing profile with tailored recommendations and tools to track progress. The platform also provides a curated self-guided content library — audio mindfulness and meditation sessions, guided yoga videos, talks, workplace wellbeing podcasts, and micro-learning series for managers. Additionally, there are 24/7 mental health helplines for immediate support. Mental health programme benefits may be offered across five different plans. Note that in some countries these benefits may be treated as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK), and monthly premiums could be considered taxable income under local law. When offered, they must be provided equally to all employees in the country.

Our employer of record (EOR) service lets you hire, manage, and pay top talent in Norway quickly and simply.
Remote’s EOR lets your company legally hire employees in Norway without creating a local legal entity. Legally, Remote is the employer on record and handles compliance, payroll, benefits (including equity), and other HR processes, while you keep day-to-day control of the hire's management and work responsibilities.
An EOR may be ideal if your company:
Needs to hire employees in Norway but doesn’t want to establish a legal entity
Is testing local markets before committing to a full business expansion
Wants to ensure compliance with local employment laws and tax requirements
Needs a fast, cost-effective way to onboard employees in Norway
Needs a temporary hiring solution prior to establishing a legal entity
If your company wants to hire talent in Norway but lacks a local legal entity, Remote’s EOR offers a compliant, efficient solution. Norway has strict employment and payroll tax regulations, and Remote’s EOR helps you meet those obligations while enabling faster growth.
Key benefits of hiring through Remote’s EOR in Norway include:
Faster market entry. Hire talent quickly, without waiting months to set up a local entity.
Full compliance with local employment laws. Avoid legal risks from non-compliance and misclassification.
Simplified payroll management. Remote automates payroll tax calculations and helps you comply with withholding obligations, even as laws change.
Lower costs. Setting up a legal entity in Norway can be expensive and time-consuming. An EOR removes the need for entity registration, lowering overhead.
Fewer resources required. With HR, payroll, and compliance managed by Remote’s EOR, your company can focus on scaling operations and redeploy resources elsewhere.
Remote owns a local legal entity in Norway, so it does not rely on third parties that can cause delays and extra costs, and reduce the employee experience. All Remote’s EOR services — including the dedicated support of local specialists — are provided in-house.
