Employment Termination in Norway
Employee contracts can be terminated if a just cause is established, such as dishonesty, negligence, fraud, or any other work-related offences. Employers are required to discuss the intention to terminate with employees before the decision is finalised.
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 labour law.
Probation periods can last for up to six months under Norwegian regulations.
