Termination notice and certificate of employment in Norway. Free meeting in Drammen on 19 November

The meeting will take place on 19 November 2026, from 18:00 to 20:00, at Vintergata 25 in Drammen (3048). The organiser invites participants for a coffee and a discussion on Norwegian employment law, including termination of employment contracts, or oppsigelse, and certificates of employment – sluttattest. It is aimed at people who want to organise their understanding of basic terms and better understand the documents they receive from their employer. The topic covers both the end of employment and rights and obligations during employment. The speaker is an advokatfullmektig, a legal professional working under the supervision of a lawyer. The organiser presents the event as an informational meeting. It does not offer individual case handling for participants. Read also: 89,500 vacancies in Norway.

The Norwegian public services portal Altinn reminds employers that a dismissal must have objective grounds. Before making a decision, the matter should be discussed with the employee, and the notice itself must meet requirements concerning its form and content. Therefore, when receiving such a letter, specific dates, the reason for the termination of employment and information on the possibility of challenging the decision are important. A simple colloquial translation of the Norwegian word does not replace reviewing the document. The official rules are described by Altinn in its guide to termination notices. Participants can prepare their own list of questions for the meeting: what is the difference between termination and a mutual agreement, how to interpret the notice period, and what to expect from a certificate of employment. If the deadline for responding in a specific case is already running, do not postpone seeking help until the day of the event.
