I’ve decided to leave my current job at the end of the week. On monday i got sick and took out a sick leave untill the end of the week. My employer randomly decided to show up at my apartment and check in on me, i had a stuffy nose and a red face but somehow that wasnt convincing enough for him and now he has decided not to pay me. in the last year ive taken out maybe 3 days of paid sick leave. I have heard from previous coleagues that the company has tried to pull some stunts to pay less money to the people that decide to leave the company, i guess this is one of those cases.
Is this legal to do? What should be my next steps, are there any institutions like NAV or something that could help me with this?
Seems like a bullshit excuse that shouldnt be/isnt legal.

go to the doctor, get offical sick leave?
If you aren’t in a union you can check on Facebook legal. Help foreigners in Norway. There’s a lawyer that’s. Good with these kinds of cases. But this is highly illegal
Talk to your doctor, your union, and *arbeidstilsynet*.
If he’s not a doctor he can sod off. Go to a real medical doctor and talk to arbeidstilsynet.
Yeah that sounds illegal. Definitely get an official sick leave from the doctor and for gods sake contact your union if you are part of one. They will help you out.
No it’s not legal, i recommend just going to your doctor and getting a note from there just to make your life easier as your not going to be working there for much longer. But you should also talk to your union and put in a complaint with Hr if there is one there, in hopes that they won’t do this to someone else in the future.
From employers point of view, it’s a bit suspicious when a employers get sick last week of employment, so I can understand why they question your absence even though it’s a shitty thing to do.
If you’re sick, get a sykemelding from you doctor.
They went to your apartment? That’s next level inappropriateness.
If you can’t get a doctor’s note and are able go to work. Go in and be sick and cough all day. I don’t advocate infecting the other staff or customers but just make it uncomfortable for them.
Tell the rest of your colleagues that you’re only in because your boss won’t pay you sick days.
Just be grateful you’re leaving.
Illegal. You have a right to sick days in Norway (egenmelding). Boss can’t diagnose you over the phone
What sort of person shows up at an employee’s home? Psychopath behaviour if you ask me.
Go to your boss’s office and prove you have a fever with a rectal thermometer
There is no souch problem if you are sick and get a doctor notice. If you stay home without one you can forget it.
In Norway, this is enough to cost your boss his job. Contact Arbeidstilsynet, and if you can, unionize. ALWAYS unionize.
Wow, is it legal for them to turn up at your place? Seriously! I have never heard of this, and I’ve lived here for 5 years now. Sooo utterly creepy!
That is not okay at all. But depending on your job, unless they have special rules ( IA-bedrift) you need a note from your doctor after being sick for more than three days.

What a fucktard of an employer.
Employers are allowed to dispute sick leave but the process to do this does NOT start by showing up at an employees doorstep.
Employer is an ass, so sorry OP. The “good” thing is that he sent a sms with written proof that he did something illegal. Contact your union, if you are part of one, or contact “arbeidstilsynet”. Most of the people who work there speak english, and they have a group of people who work there for people who prefer to have a conversation in english (or a few other languages). Please contact them asap. Don’t wait for time to go by or for the employer to come to his senses. He won’t, and you will save others from his horrible behavior.
You may contact NAV and demand they pay sick leave, that’ll take about twelve months Or you can call an attorney, have a demand letter written, and probably have the money in about three weeks.
Read [this](https://www.nav.no/friskmelding-arbeidsformidling).
You will have to translate it or use google chrome, since it’s in Norwegian.
Hint: It can give you up to 12 weeks sick pay from NAV while you find another job.
If you are sick on Monday, you habe to be back at work on Thursday, since it’s max three days without notice.
On the other hand, showing up at an employees hoyse for control is highly illegal.
Pretty sure you’re allowed three days without going to your doctor. Egenmelding
Doctor, Union and Arbeidstilsynet.
Make sure they’re reported and end up regretting this.
Super illegal, even if he show up to court with proof that you where not sick!
You still get paid and he would most likely be fired.
