You can find your payslip in the selfservice-portal. Guidance on how to read your payslip can be found here.

Be aware that you will loose access to the self-service portal after your last working day at UiB, which means that you will no longer be able to download your payslips. Remember to download your payslips before your employment ends.

UiB automatically retrieves your tax card from the Tax Administration (Skatteetaten). This assumes that you have applied for a tax deduction card from the Tax Administration. If you do not have a tax card, you will have 50% tax deduction on payments from UiB.

If you have an exemption card, remember to allocate all or part of your exemption card amount to UiB. If you do not allocate an amount to UiB, you will have 50% tax deduction on payments from UiB. If you exceed your exemption card limit or the amount you have allocated to UiB, you will also get 50% tax deduction. In this case you must apply for a tax card from the Tax Administration or allocate a new amount to UiB.

UiB henter automatisk opp ditt skattekort fra Skatteetaten. Dette forutsetter at du har søkt om skattekort hos Skatteetaten. Dersom du ikke har et skattekort, vil du få 50 % skattetrekk på utbetalinger fra UiB. 

Dersom du har frikort, må du huske å tildele hele eller deler av frikortbeløpet ditt til UiB. Dersom du ikke tildeler et beløp til UiB, vil du få 50 % skattetrekk på utbetalinger fra UiB. Dersom du overskrider frikortgrensen din eller beløpet du har tildelt UiB, vil du også få 50 % skattetrekk. Du må da søke Skatteetaten om skattekort eller tildele UiB nytt beløp. 

Generally, holiday pay is part of the salary paid in June. This means that both holiday pay and normal salary is paid in June. You will also be subject to a holiday deduction if you have earned holiday pay from the previous year. The holiday deduction enables you to have paid holidays throughout the year.

You may read more about holiday pay in the employee handbook..

A cashcard can only be used physically in Norway. It cannot be used for online payments or outside of Norway. You are responsible for spending the amount on the card. UiB can not transfer any remaining balance on the cashcard to another account. In case of loss of the cashcard, you should contact the Service Centre for salary, travel, and absence
