Legislation that aims to ensure equal treatment for temporary agency workers came into force in Norway in 2013. Fafo will on behalf of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs find out whether these regulations are complied with. The project aims to look into how the regulations are understood and put into practice, whether companies try to bypass the regulations, how the regulations are enforced and whether new measures are required.
Control and surveillance in the workplace
The topic of this project is workplace control and monitoring. The project builds on previous Fafo projects on the same topic, and on previous issues on prevalence, motives, attitudes and practices regarding ICT-based control and monitoring tools in the workplace. The project is based on an analysis of SSB living condition data (LKU 2013) and a telephone survey among employers.
