Permanent and fixed-term employees receive their salary in accordance with the salary scale/amount and employment percentage stated in their work contract in the middle of each month. Payment is handled?centrally by the University’s Payroll Office.

Payment dates

  • Salaries are paid on the 12th of each month. If this date falls on a weekend or public holiday, the salary is paid on the last working day before the 12th. For specific payment dates see the payroll schedule.
  • The paid salary pertains to the entire calendar month. This means that you receive 50% of your monthly salary in arrears and 50% in advance.
  • Holiday pay is paid in June.
  • Overtime is paid out with the first regular payroll after the manager has approved the hours.
  • Payments to foreign bank accounts with IBAN and SWIFT/BIC details take 2–3 days longer than payments within Norway. Payments to the United States and other countries outside Europe may take significantly longer.
