Payment of salary
Fixed salary and salary for part-time employees
Fixed salary and salary for part-time teachers are paid on the 12th of each month. If this date falls on a weekend or a public holiday, payment is made on the first previous working day.
Salary following invoices and salary in the form of remuneration is paid at the end of the month.
NB! If you discover errors or missing payments, contact your local HR section.
Hourly paid employees
Hourly paid employees must submit digital time sheets through the DFO app. See "Submitting digital time sheets", below. If time sheets are submitted and approved by the first working day of the month, payment will be made by the 12th of the same month.
New employees
New employees who start working before the 12th will normally be paid within the same month. If the date of employment is after the 12th, the salary will be paid the following month.
Travel settlements
Travel settlements are paid once a week provided that the travel expenses account has been submitted and approved in the SAP portal.
Annual report and accounts
The annual report and accounts (“årssammenstilling”) is available in the SAP portal.
Advances in salary
Advances in salary are only granted under special circumstances and following approval of application.
Completed application for advances in salary (.docx) must be sent to the Department of Human Resources where they will be processed separately.
Usually it is only when purchasing a house that you can apply for up to two months' salary paid in advance. The basis of the application must be documented, for example by attaching a purchase contract.
The advance in salary is interest-free. The interest benefit of the advance in salary is subject to tax if the advance exceeds 3/5th of the basic national insurance amount or the repayment period is longer than one year.
For more information on payment of salary in advance see the Employee Handbook (compendia.no).

Salary earned abroad
Salaries earned abroad are specifically reported to the Norwegian Tax Agency. It is therefore important that Section for Payroll is notified of employees who have received a scholarship abroad and thus have salary earnings abroad.
When confirmation letters are sent to employees about foreign scholarships, set Section of Payroll as a copy recipient.
Alternatively, please send information regarding scholarships, recipients, amounts and scholarships periods to lonn@oslomet.no.

Holiday pay ("feriepenger")
OsloMet calculates the holiday pay in June each year on the basis of the previous year's salary.
The part of the holiday pay that exceeds your ordinary salary during the holidays – the holiday pay supplement – will be disbursed together with your salary for June.
All your days off must be reported to the manager and registered.
Check the quota overview in the SAP portal to get to know how many holiday days you have at your disposal at any time.
-
Overtime and "mertid"
Overtime must be imposed and controllable. An explanation of the reason for overtime must be written into the registration using the comment field.
Payment for overtime work normally occurs two months after the application is sent. This is dependent on acceptance from your personnel manager and can therefore be subject to delays.
- Technical and administrative staff register overtime work in the SAP portal.
- Scientific staff applies for overtime pay using "Remunerations" in the SAP portal/DFØ-app. According to the Norwegian Working Environment Act (lovdata.no) (arbeidsmiljøloven) it must be documented that normal working hours has been fulfilled before overtime can be claimed. This is documented by using the Working Hours form (UF) (excel) (the form is only in Norwegian). The form must be approved by your manager. Please provide a signed/approved copy of the form with the "Remuneration" in the SAP portal, or supply a written confirmation of approval.
- See instructions on how to apply for overtime (.docx).
- If you have a salary table card, tax will be deducted for overtime according to the table. The tax table is progressive - the higher the amount, the higher the tax.
- Compensatory time off may be given hour by hour by agreement with your manager. In this case you will be paid the overtime supplement.
-
Submitting forms to Payroll
Forms that contain personal information and are "attestert and anvist" (approved by administration and manager) are to be sendt in P360 to Seksjon for lønn.
