# What are the rules on holiday, probation and notice in Norway?

Employees in Norway are entitled to 25 working days of holiday a year (four weeks and one day), and five weeks is common under collective agreements. Holiday pay is 10.2% of the previous year's earnings, or 12% where five weeks are agreed.

A probation period of up to 6 months can be agreed in writing, with 14 days' notice during that time. After that, the notice period is 1 month by default, 2 months after 5 years' service and 3 months after 10 years. We set all of this up correctly in the contract.
