lønnstillegg

Lønnstillegg refers to an increase in an employee's salary that is not part of the regular, annual salary adjustment. It can be granted for various reasons, such as taking on new responsibilities, achieving specific performance goals, or as a recognition of acquired skills or experience. Lønnstillegg is distinct from a general wage increase that applies to all employees in a company or a specific pay grade.

These supplements can be a one-time payment or a permanent addition to the base salary. The justification for a lønnstillegg is typically individual to the employee and their role or performance. For example, an employee who successfully completes a major project might receive a lønnstillegg as a reward. Similarly, if an employee is promoted and takes on duties significantly beyond their previous role, a lønnstillegg might be offered to reflect this change.

In collective bargaining agreements, provisions for lønnstillegg can sometimes be outlined, specifying the conditions under which they may be awarded. However, they often remain at the discretion of the employer, based on internal policies and the specific circumstances of the employee. The process for requesting or being considered for a lønnstillegg varies by workplace. It is generally considered a discretionary benefit aimed at motivating employees and retaining talent.
