Working life privacy

In working conditions, employers will need to process personal information about their employees in a number of connections, including, among other things, in connection with normal personnel administration, such as payroll payments and follow-up of sick reports. If the employer implements control measures against their employees, it will also often involve the processing of personal data. Employers often put digital tools such as PCs and mobile telephones at their disposal, which are used both at work and privately. Increased use of digital work tools and KI at work/work gives both possibilities and challenges. This all raises privacy issues. In the 2024 national digitalisation strategy, one of the measures is that the government will "review and evaluate how privacy is safeguarded for workers." The Ministry of Labour and Inclusion is hereby highlighting a mapping of various problems connected to privacy in working life. The assignment will be valid from signing the contract until the final report was submitted 15 March 2027, with an upper financial limit of NOK 1,500,000 excluding VAT. See annex 1 of the contract for further details on the delivery.
