Penalising wage theft The government proposes to penalise wage theft. Wage theft is a fairly new concept and covers instances where employers: fail to pay wages or other remuneration to employees; pay too little to employees; demand repayment of wages already paid; and temporarily lay off employees and simultaneously demand that employees work for free during the temporary lay-off period. The government proposes the introduction of new penal provisions for wage theft with an upper penalty of six years imprisonment. In addition, the government proposes that the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority be authorised to issue an order for the payment of a statutory minimum wage. The proposal includes penalties in the form of imprisonment or fines for employers which fail to establish an occupational pension scheme. Occupational pension schemes must also meet the minimum requirements set out in the Act on Mandatory Occupational Pensions.
