Au Pair in Norway: salary, working hours, holidays, etc.
Though the Host Family welcomes the Au Pair in Norway as a new family member, there is a legislation governing the program and there are rules that both parties need to respect.
The schedule may be flexible, but there is a certain holiday policy:
The Au Pair should have at least one afternoon off
The participant should have at least one day off (which will be 1.5 days off a week along with the free afternoon)
They should have time to attend a language course
At least once a month the day off should be a Sunday.
The participant should get 5 weeks of holidays per year. If she/he starts the stay after the 30th of September, she/he should receive 6 working days holiday by the end of the year. In any case, discuss everything before the stay begins! The Au Pair will get payment during the holidays, days off and days of illness.
The family also pays a minimum of NOK 8,850 for the Norwegian course and study materials.
What else?
Travel cost
The Au Pair should cover the travel expenses to go to Norway themselves. The family in Norway should pay for their flight back home, though.
If the participant stays in Norway longer than stated in the contract or they wish to go somewhere else than their home country, the Host Family doesn’t have to cover the travel expenses.
Taxes
The Host Family has to pay income tax on behalf of the Au Pair. The percentage is estimated on the basis of the Au Pair’s monthly salary and the value of food and lodging they receive.
Great possibility for families and aupairs to find each other.
