oppsigelsesgebyret

Oppsigelsesgebyret, also known as the Dismissal Appeal Board, is a Norwegian institution established to handle appeals against dismissals from public employment. It operates under the Ministry of Labour and Social Inclusion and is governed by the Dismissal Appeal Board Act. The board's primary function is to review cases where an employee has been dismissed from a public position and the employer or the employee wishes to appeal the decision.

The Dismissal Appeal Board consists of three members, including a chairman and two other members. The chairman is appointed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Inclusion, while the other members are appointed by the Storting (Norwegian Parliament). The board's decisions are final and binding, meaning that the employer or the employee cannot appeal the decision further.

The appeal process involves a thorough review of the dismissal case, including the reasons for the dismissal, the employee's conduct, and the employer's procedures. The board considers the evidence presented by both parties and makes a decision based on the applicable laws and regulations. The decision can either uphold the dismissal, reverse it, or order a new hearing.

The Dismissal Appeal Board aims to ensure fairness and transparency in the dismissal process for public employees. It provides a mechanism for employees to challenge their dismissal and for employers to defend their decisions. The board's decisions are published in the Official Journal, ensuring public access to the outcomes of the appeals.
