It is important to note that the average waiting period for the arrival of an international worker is typically around 2,5 – 3 months. This is primarily due to the mandatory visa processing time.

As a result, it is crucial for companies to plan ahead and account for this waiting period when organizing their recruitment process. By taking a pragmatic approach and considering the necessary visa processing time, companies can ensure that they are able to receive qualified workers in a timely manner, while also adhering to all relevant regulations and procedures.

As a professional, it’s important to understand that in Norway, all agricultural seasonal workers are subject to 37,5 – 40 working hours per week, with the possibility for overtime working hours.

The rules about working hours in Norway are governed by the Working Environment Act. Overtime is usually limited to 10 hours per week and 25 hours over a four-week period. Overtime pay or time off in lieu is typically provided for overtime work. It’s important for the employer to follow rules about maximum working hours, rest breaks, and night work.

It’s important to note, however, that there are certain specific regulations that are unique to agricultural work, which take into account the seasonal nature of the work and the weather conditions. This means that during busy periods, such as harvesting, workers may be required to work longer hours to meet production demands.

In order to host Non-EU trainees, adequate living conditions need to be provided by employers for a monthly rent. The rent needs to be affordable for the trainees, as they will be paying it from their monthly allowance.

• Furnished room with a sleeping bed, closet, chair, table, appropriate lighting
• Toilet and shower facilities
