For many, it is also the first encounter with previously unknown rules. It's easy to make mistakes, and some people may be afraid to ask or talk about things that aren't what they should be.
“That is why it is important for young people to familiarize themselves with the rules both in working life in general and in the company where they are employed,” says Trude Vollheim, director of the Norwegian Labor Inspectorate.
Here are five tips for new employees. The Director of the Norwegian Labor Inspectorate summarizes some of the most important things a new employee should know and do in five pieces of advice:
Everyone must have an employment contract
Be sure to read it carefully and ask your employer if there is anything in the contract you do not understand. Talk to your employer and new colleagues about what is expected of you.
Everyone needs to know when and how much they need to work
If you work overtime, you must be paid overtime.
Everyone must receive appropriate training for their job
It's about how work should be done, what's important for your health and safety, and for you to be able to do your job well. Don't be afraid to speak up if you are unsure of something.
Everyone needs to know who the company's security representative is
Feel free to talk to him about safety at work, that's the job of a safety representative.
Everyone must have at least one break if the working time exceeds five and a half hours
If you are under 18, you must take a break of at least half an hour if the working time exceeds four and a half hours.
You can read more about what it must include on the Norwegian Labor Inspectorate's website contract of employment.
Many comes into force professional for the first time and, in addition to learning about their rights as employees, Vollheim reminds them that they must also take responsibility for their own work situation and inform their boss if something is wrong.
