Sign the contract

If you are signing an assignment contract, a monthly contract, or a contract as an hourly paid employee via this solution, you will receive an e-mail with a link for electronic signing.

Once the contract is electronically signed and the start date has passed, you will receive a new e-mail with information about your user account creation. This user will provide access to the DFØ app and the self-service portal.

After signing a contract, you will gain access to a menu option called "My Contracts". There you will find an overview of active, future, and expired contracts which you have signed.

If you have signed an hourly contract, you also register your hours against the contract under the "My Contracts" menu option.

Logging in

If you are to sign a contract, a link will be sent to your e-mail. You will be sent to the login site by clicking the link. To log in you need to order a code by SMS by clicking the button "Get password". This display is also available in English by clicking "English" in the top right corner.

Enter the six-digit code you received by SMS and click "Sign in" to proceed.

In some cases, you may receive a phone call where an automatic voice reads the code out loud for you. This will happen if the code has not been entered within three minutes, or if you have opened the link, and clicked "Get password", multiple times.

Check personal information

You will proceed to a page where you need to verify personal information. Obligatory fields are marked with an asterisk "*".

If you are a new employee, all the fields will be available to edit, and some will be empty.

If you are already registered in the agency's payroll system, but you are not active, all the fields except the Norwegian national identity number will be available to edit.

If you are already registered as active in the agency's payroll system, the personal information registered for you will be pre-filled and not available to edit. If any of the personal information is incorrect, this can be corrected under "User profile" in the DFØ app or self-service portal. This means that if the contract for instance shows an old account number, you can choose to sign the contract and update this yourself once you have logged on to the system, instead of rejecting the contract.

At the top of the page, you will find a summary of the terms of the contract.

You will first need to check the name, birthnumber/D-number, nationality, and address information.

A new field will appear if your nationality is not Norwegian. In this case you must enter your birth date and passport number. Alternatively, you can enter your D-number in the “Birthnumber/D-number” field.

You will also need to enter your account number, if this is not pre-filled.

More fields will appear if you do not select Norway as Bank country. Enter the name of the bank in the “Bank name” field. If the bank is already registered in the payroll system you may select bank from the drop-down menu, and the next fields will be filled automatically. If the bank has not been registered previously, you must enter this information manually.

If the business has uploaded attachments to the contract, you will find these attachments under the heading "Attachments". If you have attachments that are relevant to the contract, you can upload them here. Attachments related to travel expenses or other expenses must not be uploaded here.

If you are a Norwegian citizen, you must answer questions about trade union affiliation. You will get question “Are you a member of ‘Akademikerne/Unio?’” or “Are you a member of LO/YS?”. Read the question carefully and answer based on what is correct for you. This question is not relevant if it is regarding an assignment contract or an hourly contract with a pensioner salary.

If you are older than 57 years, a Norwegian citizen, and it is regarding an hourly contract, you will need to answer if you want a pensioner salary, or not. If the contract is an hourly contract with pensioner salary, this field will not appear. If you click “Yes” the contract is not signable and needs to be returned.

You must also answer the question "Do you have Norwegian BankID?".

Approve or reject the contract proposal

At the bottom of the page you can reject the contract by clicking “Reject contract”. If you want to approve the contract you need to tick the box for “I confirm that the information is correct”, and then click “Save contract” to proceed to signing the contract.

If you reject the contract you must leave the reason for this in the comment field. The contract will be returned to the caseworker when you click “Reject contract” again.

Signing the contract

The next two guides are divided by your answer to “Do you have Norwegian BankID”.

If you do not have a Norwegian BankID you can read “I do not have a Norwegian birthnumber or D-number”.

If you have a Norwegian BankID you can read “I have a Norwegian birthnumber or D-number”.

When signing the contract, you must tick the confirmation box and click “Save contract” again.

The signing of the contract is divided in two steps.

In the first step you need to upload a picture of a valid identification, for example a colour copy of your passport or national ID card. You can choose between taking a picture by clicking the camera icon, or upload a file from your computer by clicking the upload icon.

Click “Take a picture” to take a picture. Click “Upload front” to upload a file. The system requires a JPG-format. It is not possible to upload a file in the Word or PDF format.

You must also take a picture of, or upload, the back of the identification card. You need both the front and back to be able to proceed.

If you uploaded the wrong picture and want to replace it, you can click “Upload a different image”. Click “Go to signing” to proceed.

In the second step you enter your signature. Enter the signature and your name in the “Name” field before sending the signature.

When this is done a confirmation box will appear. The contract is now signed.
