Holiday pay in Norway...

Hello,

According to: http://www.arbeidstilsynet.no/fakta.htm … utbetales?

Når skal feriepengene utbetales?

Feriepengene skal i utgangspunktet utbetales siste vanlige lønningsdag før ferien.

Det mest vanlige er imidlertid at virksomheten utbetaler feriepengene i en bestemt måned, for eksempel juni. Reglene om utbetaling av feriepenger kan fravikes ved tariffavtale.

Det er ikke lov å inkludere feriepenger i lønn med mindre dette er direkte regulert gjennom tariffavtale.

Hi dmcart13!

In English?

It was a copy-paste job from the government website. They don't seem to have it in English. My own translation would be:

When to holiday pay is paid?

Holiday pay should normally be paid on the last normal payday before the holidays.

The most common situation is that the company pays holiday pay in a particular month, such as June. The rules regarding payment of holiday pay may be waived by collective agreement.

It is not allowed to include holiday pay in wages, unless it is directly regulated by collective agreement.

When you leave your job, the holiday pay is due, either immediately, if you request it, or in June of the year it should have been paid.

Yes each year i get it in june, but this year the owner has said wait 4wks (which means longer im sure of it). He has also sold the business to a new owner so i fear he will no pay. He owes co workers  wages since last August, and is completely unreliable. So im just wondering where do i go to report this, and is it possible that i never get my money?
