Working life and rights at work

Working life is two competence aims and around 8% of the test.

What's covered

Rights and duties as an employee. Employment contracts, working hours, holiday, sick leave, notice periods, and trade union membership.

Choices related to training, education and work. How you use knowledge about the labour market to make choices.

What surprises people

How specific it is. The questions ask about things that apply to you in practice: are you entitled to a written employment contract, what is the notice period, what does a trade union do.

Many people who have worked in Norway for years discover that they know their daily routine, but not the rules underlying it. It's worth reading through even if you've been in work for a long time.
