Fill in employment status form as a job seeker

All job seekers registered with NAV must submit an employment status form every 14 days.

If you want to be registered as a job seeker, you must submit the form even if you are not receiving any form of financial benefit or follow-up from us.

If you have applied for or are receiving any of the following types of benefits, separate rules apply for how to fill in and submit the employment status form:

• Unemployment benefit – fill in employment status form (in Norwegian)
• Work assessment allowance – fill in employment status form
• Employment scheme benefits – fill in employment status form
• Transitional benefit for single parents – fill in employment status form
• Fit for employment scheme – fill in employment status form

If you are not sure how or why you should fill in an employment status form in your situation, we recommend that you contact us for help.

You fill in and submit the employment status form online.

Submit employment status form

Don’t forget to wait for confirmation that we have received your form before you close your browser.

In the employment status form you provide information about your work, activities, and absences in the last 14 days.

When you fill in the employment status form, you must answer 5 questions.

On the form you must list

• all hours you worked
• days you participated in employment schemes, training or education
• days you were sick and therefore unable to work or participate in employment schemes
• days you were absent for other reasons, e.g. holiday

You must also state whether you want to continue to be registered as a job seeker in the next 14 days.

If you made a mistake on an employment status form you have sent in earlier, you must correct the mistake and resend the form as soon as possible.

How to correct mistakes:

1. Log in to the overview of previous employment status forms.
2. Choose the form you need to correct.
3. Correct the mistake and resend the employment status form.

If you are unable to correct your employment status form online, please contact us for help.

You must submit an employment status form every 14 days.

The final deadline for submitting the employment status form is 23:00 Monday one week after the form’s 14-day period is over.

• which 14-day period the employment status form covers

We recommend that you submit the form as soon as possible, and well ahead of the final deadline.

You risk being removed from the job seeker register if you

• do not submit employment status forms
• submit your employment status form more than 20 days too late
• answer “no” to the question of whether you want to continue to be registered as a job seeker

What to do if you have been removed from the job seeker register

If you still want to be registered, you must re-register as a job seeker (in Norwegian). Simply re-submitting your employment status form is not sufficient.
