Norwegian labour law sets clear rules on employment contracts, working time, employee rights and termination procedures. Employers active in Norway are required to follow these rules closely, as they affect daily people management and formal decision-making.
ETL GLOBAL Member Aider Legal (formerly Magnus Legal) presents “This is Norwegian Labour Law”, a guide outlining the legal framework employers must follow when hiring and managing staff in Norway. The publication provides an overview of employer obligations, explaining how statutory rules apply in everyday employment situations and what authorities expect in practice.
The guide is particularly relevant for businesses with cross-border operations or growing workforces in Norway. It addresses common risk areas, clarifies employer responsibilities and points to situations that require careful handling to avoid disputes, penalties or corrective measures from labour authorities.
