Midlertidig lønnstilskudd

Midlertidig lønnstilskudd is a temporary wage subsidy program offered by NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) to help individuals with reduced work capacity or difficulty finding employment. The subsidy is paid to employers who hire eligible individuals. When participating in this program, the individual is employed under standard wage and work conditions, performing regular tasks within the organization. The wage subsidy compensates employers for reduced productivity compared to other employees. The program aims to increase opportunities for individuals to obtain regular employment or help those at risk of losing their job after being on sick leave for 12 months. NAV and the employer create an agreement specifying duration, employment terms, and necessary follow-up and workplace adjustments. Employers can also apply for additional inclusion subsidies to cover documented extra costs for workplace accommodations, as well as subsidies for mentorship to help participants succeed in their roles.
