Hendelsesavbrudd

Hendelsesavbrudd is a concept in Norwegian labor law that refers to the temporary suspension of a person's employment due to a fault or misconduct on their part. The purpose of hendelsesavbrudd is to give the employer the opportunity to investigate the situation and make a decision on the future of the employee's employment.

Under Norwegian law, an employer may terminate an employee's contract due to hentelsesavbrudd without having to demonstrate gross misconduct. This means that the employee's contract can be terminated even if they have not committed a serious offense, but rather have failed to meet the expected standards of their position.

To terminate an employee's contract due to hentelsesavbrudd, the employer must follow a formal procedure, which involves issuing a warning to the employee and giving them the opportunity to rectify the situation. If the employee fails to improve their performance or behavior, the employer may then terminate their contract.

Hendelsesavbrudd can also be used to terminate an employee's contract after a temporary absence from work due to illness or other reasons. In such cases, the employer may terminate the contract after a certain period of absence, provided that the employee has not provided a valid reason for their absence or has not made any efforts to return to work.

The employer's decision to terminate an employee's contract due to hentelsesavbrudd can be challenged by the employee in a court of law. The court will review the employer's decision and apply the relevant laws and regulations to determine whether the termination was lawful.
