Norway Notice Period Calculator (Oppsigelsestid)
Work out the Norwegian notice period (oppsigelsestid): 1 to 6 months by years of service and age, from the first day of the next month.
Your contract or collective agreement may give longer periods. Dismissal by the employer must be in writing and have a fair reason; you have the right to stay in the job while a dispute is handled.
What it does
Under § 15-3 of the Norwegian Working Environment Act (arbeidsmiljøloven) the notice period is 1 month, 2 months after 5 years and 3 months after 10 years with the same employer. If the employer dismisses you after 10 years, it is at least 4 months from the age of 50, 5 months from 55 and 6 months from 60, while you can still resign with 3 months. The period runs from the first day of the month after the notice. During a trial period (prøvetid) it is 14 days.
How to use it
- Choose who gives notice and type the start of employment.
- Type the day notice is given and, if needed, your date of birth.
- Read the notice period and the last day.
