Sign the contract

Log in

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

Enter the received six-number code from the 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 is not entered within three minutes, and again after two additional minutes. If you enter the code, you will not receive a phone call.

Check personal information

You will proceed to a page where you need to verify personal information. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk “*”.
If you are:

• already registered as active in the company’s payroll system, the personal information already registered on you will be pre-filled and not editable. If any of the personal information is wrong, some can be corrected under “User profile” in the DFØ APP or portal.

• already in the company’s payroll system but are not active, all fields except the Norwegian national identity number/D-number will be editable.

• a new employee, all fields can be edited, and some fields are empty.

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

You 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 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 SAP payroll system you may select the applicable bank from the drop-down menu, and the next fields will be automatically filled. If the bank is not previously registered, 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 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 contract 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 need to inform why 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”.
