The increase comes through a new extension regulation, FOR-2026-10-22-2231Lovdata — Forskrift om delvis allmenngjøring av tariffavtale for renholdsbedrifter — decided by Tariffnemnda on 22 October 2026

Lovdata. It simultaneously repeals the prior extension regulation FOR-2024-10-21-2545. The new regulation extends the 2026–2028 overenskomst for renholdsbedrifter between Næringslivets Hovedorganisasjon and NHO Service og Handel on one side and Landsorganisasjonen i Norge and Norsk Arbeidsmandsforbund on the other.
The scope is otherwise unchanged but now expressly reaches SvalbardLovdata. The regulation covers private businesses selling cleaning services, for employees performing cleaning, including in Longyearbyen and Ny-Ålesund på Svalbard.
Lovdata It does not cover employees of businesses bound by a tariffavtale with a union holding innstillingsrett, except that employees covered by the renhold overenskomst itself remain covered, with § 3 disapplied in businesses practising a rammetimetall scheme.

Lovdata and persons on labour-market measures are outside the extension
Lovdata. Employers, and those managing the business on their behalf, must ensure the provisions are implemented.
Other extended terms continue. For work between 21:00 and 06:00 a supplement must be agreed in each case of at least 29 kroner per hour.Lovdata Travel time between assignments following directly one after another must count as working time or be paid separately for the time spent moving, with extra travel costs covered by agreement. For assignments requiring overnight stays away from home, the employer must cover necessary travel expenses at the start and end of the assignment and agree board-and-lodging arrangements in advance, as a main rule providing them directly. The employer must provide necessary work clothing and footwear adapted to the workplace and the work. Where an employee is overall covered by more favourable pay and working conditions under agreement or otherwise applicable law, that regime governs instead.
The prior extension had applied from 1 November 2024 and was last amended by forskrift 28 mai 2025 nr. 957 with effect from 15 June 2025. From 6 November 2026 the new rates and the Svalbard coverage apply.Lovdata
