Part-time employees who work every day at reduced working hours
One work day with self-certified sick leave is considered as one sick leave day.
Part-time employees who work whole work days but less than five days per week
- If you as part-time employee are sick with self-certified sick leave before AND after a work-free day, the work-free day is calculated as part of the self-certified sick leave period. For example, if you normally work on Monday and Wednesday and submit a self-certified sick leave certificate for these days, Tuesday is calculated as part of the the self-certified sick leave period. You will have used three days of self-certified sick leave.
- The same goes for when you are sick with self-certified sick leave before AND after a holiday or weekend.
Regulations
The use of self-certified sick leave is regulated in the Social Security Act, Section 8-24 (lovdata.no) (Norwegian). The Act does not take account of work days but only calculates calendar days, cf. Social Security Act, Section 8-24, fourth paragraph (lovdata.no) (Norwegian).
