arbeidstagerens

Arbeidstagerens is a form of term that appears in Norwegian and Danish language contexts as the possessive form of arbeidstageren (the worker or employee). The standard Norwegian equivalent is arbeidstaker, and the spelling arbeidstageren is less common in modern usage. Consequently, arbeidstagerens would ordinarily mean “the worker’s” or “the employee’s” in a sentence, for example in arbeidstagerens rettigheter (the employee’s rights).

An arbeidstager is a person who performs work under an agreement with an employer in return for wages or salary. This encompasses a range of employment types, including full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, and agency-based work. The exact terms of employment—such as duration, duties, compensation, and termination—are governed by an employment contract, and by national labor legislation and, where applicable, collective bargaining agreements.

In contrast to a praktikant (trainee or intern), an arbeidstager is usually engaged as a regular employee with standard rights and obligations. Praktikant positions are often tied to educational programs and may provide different levels of compensation and entitlement, depending on the jurisdiction and the program.

Labor rights associated with arbeidstageren typically cover working conditions, safety, rest and overtime rules, holiday entitlements, and protections against discrimination. In many Nordic countries, wage levels and benefits are shaped by collective agreements, while core safety and labor rights are supported by general labor laws.
