Benefits Guide
Employing in Norway
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.

Norway, like many other countries, treats self-employed individuals or contractors and full-time employees differently. Misclassification of contractors in Norway may lead to fines and penalties for the offending company.
