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 and Akademikerne (on behalf of the unions under the Akademikerne umbrella).

2024 Negotiations
There is still a lot of uncertainty about how the local negotiations in 2024 will be this year due to the strike. Akademikerne-UiO prepares in the same way as in a normal year and therefore wants our members to submit salary claims. The reason for this, is that we want to be ready to negotiate on individual claims regardless of the outcome and date for the proceedings in the National Wages Board.

Processing of salary claims
Akademikerne-UiO receive all salary claims that are submitted in the online form and distribute them to the trade unions.
The trade unions go through all the salary claims from their members and prioritize them. The prioritization is done based on what you have written in the salary claim, the salary statistics of UiO, the local salary policy at UiO and UiO's position code structure.
Your salary claim is processed confidentially and as few people as possible are involved in this process. It may be that the union have questions about your claim, and you may therefore be contacted to provide further information.
Neither Akademikerne-UiO, the trade unions nor the employer are allowed to disclose any information once the negotiations have begun. Everything that is said during the negotiations is confidential, so we cannot release information during the negotiations. This means that after you have submitted your claim, you will not receive any more information until the negotiations are completed.
After the negotiations
If you have had your salary or position code adjusted, you will be informed of this within a relatively short time after the negotiations have been completed.
If you have questions about late payment or other information related to the new salary, you must contact your employer.
In a normal year, the effective date (i.e. the time the annual salary and position code are changed from) is 1 May. This year, we do not currently know if this will change as a result of the strike.
The negotiations should normally be finished on 31 October, but we will in all probability get a new, later deadline because of the strike and the proceedings in the National Wages Board.
