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 providing these additional benefits can significantly enhance the financial security and peace of mind for employees.
The Global Life Insurance offering provides flexible coverage levels ranging from $50,000 to $600,000, tailored to meet the diverse needs and budgets of the company and its employees.
This benefit includes two options:
The Basic Offering provides Life Insurance coverage. In the unfortunate event of an employee’s demise, their beneficiary will receive a payout equivalent to up to 6 times the employee’s annual salary. However, this compensation is capped at a maximum of the selected cover limit. This means that the payout will not exceed the cover limit applicable, regardless of the employee’s salary.
The Comprehensive Offering at Remote combines Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Permanent Disability (PD) coverage. In cases of accidental death, dismemberment, or a permanent disability, the compensation is equivalent to up to 5 times the employee’s annual salary, subject to a predetermined limit. This compensation is capped at a maximum cover limit provided by Remote. The payout will not exceed the applicable cover limit, regardless of the employee’s salary.
It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, insurance premium taxes may be applicable. This means taxes may be due to the company for the monthly premiums paid towards the life insurance coverage for employees. Additionally, life insurance benefits may be categorized as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums paid for the life insurance coverage might be counted as part of the employee’s taxable income according to the local tax laws. When life insurance benefits are offered, they must be provided equally to all employees in the respective country.
Provides financial protection and security for beneficiaries after the death of an insured team member.
In the unfortunate event of a team member’s demise, beneficiary compensation cannot exceed 6 times the team member’s annual salary or the chosen cover level (whichever is lower).

Disabilities below 33.33%: No compensation
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 the compensation is calculated for Life Insurance, Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D), and Permanent Disability, refer to the help article for details

Offering mental health benefits is not mandatory in this country, but providing the benefit can significantly enhance the emotional well-being and overall productivity of employees.

Offering mental health benefits is optional, but it can greatly enhance employee well-being and productivity. It is essential to be aware that in certain countries, mental health benefits may be categorized as ‘Benefits in Kind’ (BIK). This categorization means that the monthly premiums paid for the benefit might be counted as part of the employee’s taxable income according to the local tax laws. When mental health benefits are offered, they must be provided equally to all employees in the respective 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. On paper, Remote is the official employer, handling compliance, payroll, benefits (including equity), and other HR processes, while you retain operational control over the person’s day-to-day management and responsibilities.
An EOR may be ideal if your company:
Needs to hire employees in Norway but does not want to establish a legal entity
Is testing the local market before committing to a full business expansion
Needs to ensure full compliance with local employment and tax laws
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 provides a compliant, efficient way to do so. Norway has strict employment and payroll tax laws, and Remote’s EOR helps your company meet those legal obligations while allowing you to scale quickly.
Key benefits of hiring through Remote’s EOR in Norway include:
Faster market entry. Hire talent quickly without waiting months to establish a local entity.
Full compliance with local employment laws. Helps reduce the legal risks associated with non-compliance and misclassification.
Simplified payroll management. We automate payroll tax calculations and help you maintain compliance with withholding obligations, even when laws change.
Lower costs. Setting up a legal entity in Norway can be costly and time-consuming. An EOR eliminates the need for entity registration, reducing overhead expenses.
Fewer resources required. With HR, payroll, and compliance handled by the EOR, your company can focus on scaling operations and redeploying resources.
Note that Remote maintains a legal entity in Norway. As a result, it does not need to rely on third parties, which can introduce delays, extra costs, and a poorer employee experience. All our EOR services, including dedicated support from local specialists, are provided in-house.
