Key Information
Extended Collective Agreements
Norway uses a system of “allmenngjoring” (general application) where the Tariff Board can extend collective agreement minimum wages to cover all workers in a sector, including non-unionized workers and foreign workers.
Sectors with Binding Minimums
Extended minimum rates apply in: construction, cleaning, hospitality, agriculture, fish processing, maritime construction, electrical work, and freight transport. Rates vary by sector, experience, and qualifications.
37.5-Hour Work Week
Norway's standard work week is 37.5 hours (1,950 hours per year). Many collective agreements provide for even shorter hours, particularly in shift work.
Holiday Pay (Feriepenger)
All employees are entitled to holiday pay (feriepenger) of at least 10.2% of gross salary (12% for workers over 60). This is saved from the previous year's earnings and paid out during the holiday period, effectively adding an extra month's pay.
