2.5.1 - Annual local negotiations after the central wage settlement

Akademikerne  (The Federation of Norwegian Professional Associations) work to achieve local wage formation. We believe that wages must be used as an active personnel policy tool, as motivation and reward for employees, and that this is better maintained by local parties with local knowledge of the employees and organisation.

In Akademikerne's basic collective agreement (only available in Norwegian), it has been agreed that the entire framework for the state wage settlement shall be negotiated locally. For you as an employee at the University of Oslo, this entails that both the general salary adjustments and the individual salary adjustments are subject to negotiation at UiO. Thus, the responsibility for safeguarding everyone on Akademikerne's basic collective agreement has been moved to UiO. 

Akademikerne can use all instruments, as defined in the basic collective agreement section 2.5.4, in negotiations (e.g. general- and individual salary adjustments, group salary adjustment, individual position code adjustment).

Employees can submit claims through their union by using the claim form. The employer may also make demands for salary adjustment for the employee through the employer line. Akademikerne encourages our members to participate in a pay appraisal interview before submitting a salary adjustment claim. This will help clarify expectations and help planning a potential salary adjustment, both for the employee and the employer. You can read more about the pay appraisal interview here. 

Local salary negotiations are held between the employer and the unions. Akademikerne's basic collective agreement negotiates between UiO as an employer, Akademikerne (on behalf of the unions under the Akademikerne umbrella) and UNIO.

2023 Negotiations

Akademikerne, Unio and the UiO have reached an agreement in this year’s salary negotiations. The parties have agreed that the entire salary settlement is to be distributed as a general salary adjustment of at least 5.3 %. The general salary adjustment applies to employees covered by the agreement as of May 1st 2023.

Those who retire with an state pension, leave UiO, or are in a period of notice from UiO between 01.05 – 31.08.2023 are not included in this settlement.

There will not be individual salary negotiations this year.
