Hiring in Norway
Norway is one of the world’s wealthiest economies. It boasts the world’s fifth-highest GDP per capita and a low inflation rate (2.8%), along with vast reserves of natural resources (from oil and gas to forests and minerals) that power its economy.
Norway is the world’s ninth-easiest country to do business in, according to the World Bank. The country’s government excels in enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency, giving companies confidence their business agreements will be upheld.
Norway’s populace is highly educated. Norway spends proportionately more of its GDP on education than any other country in the world. As a result, its workforce ranks as the 6th-most skilled in the world. Similarly, Norway ranks fourth worldwide in ease of finding skilled employees.

Employment Contracts in Norway
Norway has no uniform minimum wage. Instead, the country’s unions create collective agreements that apply to their industry. These agreements set minimum wages, which vary depending on whether an employee is skilled or unskilled, the employee’s age, and how long the employee has spent working for the employer.
Paid Time Off & Benefits
Employers must grant female employees up to a year of paid leave during pregnancy. Female employees are guaranteed up to 12 weeks of leave before childbirth and at least six weeks of leave following delivery.
Payroll in Norway
Employers have the right to mandate an employee works overtime up to:
- 10 hours per seven days
- 25 hours per four consecutive weeks
- 200 hours per 52 weeks
Employers and employees can agree that the employee will work up to:
- 16 hours per day (24 hours)
- 20 hours per seven days
- 50 hours per four consecutive weeks
- 300 hours per 52 weeks
If employers submit a request, the Labour Inspection Authority may grant an extended overtime work period not to exceed:
- 25 hours over seven days
- 200 hours over 26 weeks
- Employees who work overtime are entitled to at least 40% of their hourly pay. Employers must pay this 40% supplement even if the employee accepts time off equivalent to the overtime hours worked.
- Collective agreements commonly require that employers provide overtime benefits that are more favorable to the employee.
