Mener NHO la opp til selvmål for 20 år siden

Kun Odd Nerdrum eller Jon Fosse passer til beskrivelsen fra NHO, ifølge advokat Nicolay Skarning.

Mener NHO la opp til selvmål for 20 år siden

I 2004, NHO, a Norwegian trade union, defined "special independence" in employment as giving employees control over their tasks, delegation of work, methods of completion, and timing. This description was later used by the Supreme Court to determine the extent of independence an employee has. However, Nicolay Skarning, an advocate for SMB Norge, believes that NHO has contributed to a wrong legal development.

The court's ruling takes into account external factors such as customer demands and deadlines when assessing the level of independence an employee actually possesses. This judgement could affect around 20% of Norway's workforce, according to a 2014 estimate. The court's definition of special independence closely mirrors NHO's 2004 statement, but with a different phrasing in Norwegian.
