The new rules for hiring workers

A general tightening of the access to hiring agency workers, by removing the opportunity to hire “when the work is of a temporary character”. Certain exceptions apply.
A strengthening of hired workers’ right to permanent employment during the hiring period, by giving hired workers, in agreement with workers’ representatives, the right to permanent employment after three years.
A clarification of the legal difference between agency work and enterprise.
A ban on agency work on construction sites in Oslo, Viken and the former county of Vestfold.
Several of the rules are covered by transitional agreements.
