In the event of a municipal and county division, the municipalities will have new organisation numbers created for the main entities in the new municipalities.

In the event of a municipality and county merger, the municipality can either

• create a new organisation number for the main entity of the newly established municipality. Sub-entities from existing municipalities must be linked to the main entity’s new organisation number, or
• keep the main entity’s organisation number and take over sub-entities from one or more municipalities that cease to exist.

There is a guide for municipalities and counties that change structure. The guide can be found at the Norwegian Mapping Authority’s webpages (in Norwegian only).

What you need to do when newly established municipalities or counties receive new organisation numbers

In the case of a merger or division,

• the existing municipalities must specify the end date for the employment relationships concerned
• newly established municipalities must specify the start date for the employment relationships

 

Existing municipalities specify the end date

You terminate the employment relationships in the old municipality by submitting an a-melding with the organisation number of the old municipality and specifying the end date for employment. To avoid error messages, the end date should be the last date in the reporting month. In addition, you must specify the reason for the end date, which in the case of a municipal or county merger is changes in organisational structure or internal job swap.

You should not set an end date for existing employment relationships until the newly established municipality has reported the employment relationships in the a-melding.

 

 

Newly established municipalities/counties must specify the start date

You must register all employment relationships in the new municipality by submitting an a-melding for the new organisation number and specifying the start date for the employment. You should do this after the sub-entities are linked to the newly established main entity in the Central Coordinating Register for Legal Entities. 

You should report the employment relationships before the existing municipality sets an end date. Specify the employment relationships in the a-melding as early in the month as possible, so that the employees are not left without an employment relationship.

Note!
The new start date for the employment relationships must be the day after the end date, for the information in the Aa Register to be correct. For example, if the end date is 31 December, the start date should be 1 January.

 

 

What do you have to do when the municipality/county keeps its organisation number and takes over the sub-entity from a municipality/county that ceases to exist

In the case of a merger:

1. Ceased municipalities/counties must specify the end date for the employment relationships concerned
2. The municipality/county taking over must specify the start date for the new employment relationships

 

Ceased municipalities/counties must specify the end date for the employment relationships

As a ceased municipality/county, you must specify an end date and cause of end date changes in organisational structure or internal job swap for all the employment relationships.

 

 

The municipality/county taking over must specify the start date for the new employment relationships

As the municipality/county taking over, you must specify employment relationships for all employees for whom you take over employer responsibility. For a more detailed explanation of the information that you must provide, see the various types of employment.

Note! The new start date for the employment must be the day after the end date, in order for the information in NAV’s Aa Register to be correct. For example, end date of 31 December and start date of 1 January.
