NAV specifies one sick note for positions in the same sub-unit

The exception concerns the sick note. NAV still states a separate main rule for applications and income reports.

Payroll & Labour

NAV’s employer guidance now says that an employee with several positions in the same organisational sub-unit, registered as different employment relationships, should have only one sick note. It gives the example of someone who combines a fixed percentage position with hourly work in the same department and on the same tasks.NAV

The general rule remains one sick note, one benefit application and one income report for each employment relationship affected by sickness absence. The revised exception expressly refers to the sick note; it does not state that all applications or income reports should also be merged.NAV

The distinction matters when HR or payroll receives several records for the same employee. Check the registered sub-unit and employment relationships before requesting another sick note. NAV sends sickness-absence documents to the Altinn inbox of the sub-unit reported through a-meldingen, rather than to the legal entity’s organisation number.NAV

Check the employee’s registered sub-unit and use the one-note exception without assuming that separate income reports can be combined.
