When a Norwegian undertaking posts an employee to another country within the EEA, the employer must ensure that the employee is covered by the provisions in the host country relating to working and employment conditions that were issued for implementing Directive 96/71/EC concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services. This shall not apply when the employee is covered by more favourable working and employment conditions pursuant to agreement or the country's laws that otherwise regulate the employment relationship.
