Employees vs. Subcontractors
What is the difference between employees and subcontractors in Norway?
Norwegian labor law is strict, creating challenges for companies operating in Norway. A common issue we see when assisting foreign businesses is the misclassification of employees and subcontractors—a costly mistake under Norwegian regulations.
With recent legal developments tightening enforcement, understanding this distinction is more crucial than ever. Proper classification ensures compliance and protects your business from serious financial and legal risks, including back payments, penalties, and tax complications that can impact both your company and the individuals involved. In this webinar we explain and provide practical insights to help you navigate the complexities of employees vs. subcontractors under Norwegian labor law.
