Why not staffing?
Since 1 April 2023, hiring in workers from staffing agencies in Norway is only allowed in these cases:
- 1Substitutes – when someone replaces a person who is away.
- 2By agreement with elected union representatives, in businesses bound by a collective agreement.
- 3Specialist expertise for consulting and advisory services in a clearly defined project.
- 4Healthcare personnel, to keep health and care services running safely.
The old basis “work of a temporary nature” has been removed, and staffing agencies must be publicly approved. Ordinary, ongoing work from home rarely fits these cases. That is why we help you hire directly instead.
