dekningserklæring

Dekningserklæring is a Norwegian concept that translates to "notice of disclosure" or "declaration of coverage". It is a document that must be submitted by employers to the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) when an employee has been terminated due to reasons other than misconduct or unsatisfactory performance.

The primary purpose of a dekningserklæring is to report changes in an employee's earnings and wages to ensure that they receive any applicable unemployment benefits. Employers must provide a detailed breakdown of the terminated employee's earnings, wages, and any other relevant information, such as pension contributions and severance pay.

When filing a dekningserklæring, employers must complete the document accurately and provide all required information, including the date of termination, the reason for termination, and the amount and type of compensation paid to the terminated employee. Failure to provide a complete and accurate report may result in delayed or denied unemployment benefits for the terminated employee.

The submission of a dekningserklæring is a statutory requirement in Norway, governed by the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration's (NAV) regulations. Employers are obligated to file this report within a specific timeframe, usually shortly after the termination of employment.
