Norwegian part-time hospital staff sue for overtime pay

nrk.no (Swedish)

Norwegian part-time employees are suing hospitals for overtime pay, claiming unfair treatment. Many part-time workers, like midwives, are forced to take extra shifts but only receive regular hourly pay, not overtime rates, until they exceed a full-time workweek. Unions cite EU rulings arguing this practice is discriminatory. This legal challenge could significantly impact working conditions for Norway's many part-time employees, with potential consequences for both workers and employers.
