The Norwegian Holiday Pay System (Ferieloven)
In Norway, vacation time is technically unpaid leave, and vacation income is funded entirely by Feriepenger accrued during the previous calendar year:
- Statutory Rates: 10.2% of prior year gross salary under the law (4 weeks + 1 day), or 12.0% under collective bargaining agreements (5 full weeks).
- Over 60 Bonus: Employees over age 60 receive an extra week of vacation and an enhanced holiday pay rate (12.5% statutory, 14.3% with collective tariff).
- Tax Withholding Exemption: When paid out in June, no tax is deducted from the Feriepenger check; income tax for the year is spread across the remaining 10.5 months of the working year.
