Permittering eller oppsigelse – hva er forskjellen?
Permittering setter arbeidsplikten midlertidig på pause, mens oppsigelse avslutter arbeidsforholdet etter oppsigelsestiden. Om arbeidsmangelen er forbigående eller varig, er sentralt for hvilket tiltak arbeidsgiver kan bruke. Forskjellen har betydning for både lønn, fremgangsmåte og muligheten til å komme tilbake i arbeid.

Lønn og dagpenger under permittering – hva har du rett på?
Ved permittering får du normalt lønn i varslingsperioden og i en arbeidsgiverperiode etter oppstart. Deretter kan du ha rett til dagpenger, men NAV vurderer vilkårene særskilt. Inntekten din avhenger blant annet av tidligere inntekt, permitteringsgrad og hvor mye du arbeider.

Delvis permittering – hva betyr det for arbeidstid og lønn?
Ved delvis permittering arbeider du en del av din vanlige arbeidstid og er permittert resten. Arbeidsgiver betaler lønn for arbeidet og normalt permitteringslønn i starten. Deretter kan dagpenger dekke deler av inntektstapet, dersom arbeidstiden er tilstrekkelig redusert og øvrige vilkår er oppfylt.

Hvor lenge kan du være permittert?
Arbeidsgiver kan som hovedregel være fritatt fra lønnsplikten under permittering i 26 uker innenfor 18 måneder. Dette er ikke en absolutt grense for permitteringens varighet. Hvor lenge permitteringen kan fortsette, avhenger også av grunnlaget, tariffreglene og om arbeidsgiver må begynne å betale lønn igjen.
