When you have signed the contract electronically a new function in the menu will appear in the DFØ-app and the self-service portal. This is called “My contracts” and will show previous, current, and future contracts.
As an hourly employee you will also use this function to report your hours.
Sign the contract
Once you have received a contract proposal for hourly paid employment or an assignment contract, you must digitally sign and accept the contract. Without your signature, the contract is not valid and you do not have an agreement to work for Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. No payment will therefore be made.
Please see the instructions on how to sign the contract here.
Please note:During the signature process, you will be asked the question "Do you have a BankID?". Unless you have a Norwegian BankID and Norwegian national ID number or D number, you must answer "No" to this question. You will then be asked for a copy of your passport and your signature, and the contract will be written in English.
If you already have an employee or contractual relationship with Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, your address and bank account number is already registered in the payroll system. These cannot be changed during the signing process – please return/reject the contract and provide the new information in the comments field for the case officer. You will then receive a new contract proposal with updated information.
All dates are written using the Norwegian date format: DD.MM.YYYY. E.g.: 01.06.21 means 1 June 2021.
The use of special characters (‘, “, *) in the name, address or comment field will cause a failure in the signing process. Please do not use special characters; only use A-Z og 0-9.

After electronically signing an employment contract, you will find the contract in the DFØ app and the Self-Service Portal. You will receive an email with information about logging in from DFØ, however you cannot log in until the day after the contract is signed. We recommend the DFØ app for smartphones.

For hourly paid employee; submission of timesheets
When the contract for hourly paid employment has been signed and you have performed some or all of the agreed work, you must submit digital time sheets to Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. Timesheets are submitted using the DFØ app (for smartphones or tablets).
Time sheets must be submitted each month - to guarantee payment on the 12th of the following month, the time sheets must be sent on the last working day of the relevant month. (E.g.: for payment of working hours in May by June 12th, the time sheets must be submitted by 31st of May).
