The wage scale applies from 1 April 2026, while the agreement period is 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. It covers editorial employees in MBL’s weekly-press and magazine member businesses who are NJ members, including photographers, illustrators and layout staff doing journalistic work. These are minimum rates, with personal supplements based on skills, education, experience and responsibilities. Personal pay must be reviewed annually, no later than 31 December.NJ
Under § 45, wage increases and changes to social provisions do not apply to employees who left before the settlement was adopted on 30 April 2026. No recalculation or back-payment of overtime, shift or similar supplements is made for work before that date. Payroll already set at NOK 546 100 remains above the corrected minimum; the table correction is not an instruction to reduce agreed pay.NJ
