Collective agreements

The collective agreements contain provisions regarding wages, working conditions, and co-determination.

The collective agreement is usually divided into a basic agreement and the rest of the collective agreement. The basic agreement contains provisions on co-determination and rights for employee representatives, while the rest contains everything regarding material terms, that is, wages and working conditions.

Different types of agreements

Basic agreements Where co-determination, rights and duties for employee representatives are determined
Adjustment agreements Only in the state A workplace-specific supplement to the state's basic agreement
Collective agreements The part of the collective agreement containg provisions regarding wages and working conditions are often simply referred to as collective agreements in everyday language.

Bargaining areas

Workplaces in Norway are divided into bargaining areas, each with its own set of agreements and its own system for collective bargaining revision.
