Working hours for shift work and rota, and equality of working hours for employees in the rota system with employees in so-called fully continuous shift work, have been discussed numerous times. The issue was part of the Shift / rota committee's work (NOU 2008: 17), after which the committee proposed a new regulation for tripartite shift work and rota. The proposal was followed up in Ot.prp. no. 54 (2008-2009) Regarding the Act on Amendments to the Working Environment Act (equality of working hours for shift worker and workers in Rota systems, etc.). The proposal, a system with gradual compensation for inconvenient working hours, was included in the Working Environment Act §10-4 (6) with effect from 1 January 2010. The system shall now be subject to evaluation.
