European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
Eurofound's ERM database on restructuring-related legal regulations provides information on regulations in the Member States of the European Union and Norway which are explicitly or implicitly linked to anticipating and managing change.
15-2 (Working environment act); 3, 8 (Labour market act)
An employer who plans to have collective dismissals or to shut down a company has to submit relevant information to the public authorities.
In the event of collective dismissals, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) has to be notified 30 days before the planned collective dismissals (at least 10 dismissals within 30 days). Employers are required to notify public authorities 'at the earliest opportunity'. The employees' elected representatives may comment on the notification directly to NAV.
The notification should be the same as the one given to the employees, stating:
Projected collective redundancies shall not come into effect earlier than 30 days after NAV has been notified.
Normally, NAV will not be involved in consultations before the public announcement. The involvement of NAV is established by the labour market act (arbeidsmarkedsloven).
