Public Authorities Support
Managing employees in Norway as an employer involves strict regulations, multiple authorities and time-consuming administrative requirements. Small mistakes in registration or social security processes can lead to delays, compliance issues and unnecessary stress for both employers and employees.
We handle end-to-end administrative processes with Altinn, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV), the Norwegian Health Economics Administration (Helfo) and the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten).
How it works
- Schedule a call. Tell us about your company and your plans in Norway. We listen first, so we understand where you stand.
- Identify your needs. We map the registrations, authority processes and labour law obligations that apply to you, and agree a clear scope.
- Execute with confidence. We handle the processes with the Norwegian authorities and keep you informed, with one point of contact throughout.
Our services will help you avoid issues with:
- Employee registration in Norway and HMS cards
- Sick leave administration and follow-up
- Layoffs
- Social security claims and family benefits
- Reimbursement of health expenses
- A1 certificates and PD U1 documentation
