Welcome to OUS

Who?
Calculation of salary seniority is relevant for many occupational groups at OUS and applies to new employees and those who have previously been employed at OUS. This is particularly relevant for employees who are paid according to rates in tariff agreements. If you are unsure whether this will apply to you, you can ask your supervisor.

What to do?
In order for us to calculate your correct salary seniority, you must submit a completed notification form together with your work certificates/service certificates, and if relevant; birth/adoption certificate/medical certificate related to care work, to Sakarkiv: sakarkiv@ous-hf.no as soon as possible. Work certificates/certificates of service must show the start and end dates, as well as how much you have worked as a percentage or number of hours.

Former employee?
If you have previously been employed at OUS, you only need to submit documentation for the period after your last employment at OUS unless your stay is for six months or less. If we do not receive anything, the number of years and months from your previous job will be continued upon accession.

Hourly paid workers
if you have not worked for the hospital for the last 6 months you must submit the Notification Form and the latest certificates for recalculation. If this is not submitted, the date of re-entry will be set as your seniority date.

Time of determination:
Your salary seniority is calculated after your employment contract/framework agreement has been signed. If your calculated salary seniority implies a higher salary position, the wage difference will be paid as a back payment. Your salary seniority date is set as of the 1st of the month. If Sakarkiv receives work certificates/service certificates later than three months after commencement or re-entry, the salary seniority will be effective from the date these are received by the health trust. If salary seniority is not calculated, commencement date will be set as the seniority date.

• The calculation is based on:
  All employment with public and private enterprises from the age of 18
• Work in the home caring for children or other care work requires a birth certificate or medical certificate, and is included with up to 3 years
• First-time service in the military
• Skilled labourers who have completed trade examinations will have the 'value creation part' of their apprenticeship included in salary seniority

For positions requiring a certificate of conduct from the police, you must use your signed employment contract/framework agreement to apply for a certificate from the police online: Police – Politiet.no

The police will send you the certificate digitally, and you send/deliver this to your supervisor, or to Human Resources (pfekstravakt@ous-hf.no) if you are affiliated with them.

The certificate of conduct must be presented before you start the position and can not be older than 3 months upon commencement.

If you are unionised, you must ask your supervisor to register your union affiliation in the Human Resources portal (Personalportalen) as soon as possible. It is very important to register your union affiliation so you receive the correct pay for your position and employment contract.
