Employment Law

In Codex Advokater we are ready to give advice to companies and other business owners on all the facets and issues of employment law.

When a company deals with the employees there are several complex and comprehensive laws and provisions governing the employment to be considered by the employer, such as:

• the Act on the Employer’s Obligation to inform Employees of the Conditions applicable to the Employment Relationship
• the Salaried Employees Act
• the Act on Employment Clauses
• the Act on Discrimination re
• the Act on equal Treatment of Men and Women (as regards Access to Employment)
• the Holidays with Pay Act
• the rules on personal data
• the Act on Trace Secrets
• the Act on Employees’ legal Rights in Connection with Transfer of a Business
• the Act on Mass Dismissal
• the Act on active Employment Measures
• the Act on Sickness Benefits
• any collective agreements which have been made

Many companies experience difficulties in navigating all the rules, for instance if you are going to enter into an employment agreement, have to dismiss an employee or handle a notification of long term sickness. It may have serious consequences and be very expensive to the company if the employer makes a wrong or hasty decision in such a process. In such a situation early advice may contribute to minimising and optimising the staff costs, and therefore it is a really good idea to seek the counsel of Codex Advokater.

In Codex Advokater we have long experience in all fields within employment law from the ongoing advice of the daily management relating to personnel to handling of conflicts, which have reached a deadlock and will end in court.

Primarily, we provide legal services to a wide range of business owners from the self-employed clients with only a few employees to international companies with hundreds of employees, but we also assist managers, executive officers and employees.
