WORKING ENVIRONMENT ACT
New in Norway?
|
If you moved to Norway recently, it is important to note that employees in Norway are regulated by the Working Environment Act. Most PhD candidates are employed in a research fellow position at the faculty or elsewhere. That means:
- You cannot require that the candidate work more than 40 hours a week
- Candidates have 25 working days of holiday each year
- All employees are entitled to take leave in connection with pregnancy, care in connection with birth, births and parental leave.
- All employees are entitled to self-declared sick leave, i.e. to notify the employer that you are unable to work due to illness without having to present a medical certificate.
- It is not allowed to discriminate on the basis of gender / pregnancy.
