Entitlement to sickness benefits

As an employee at NTNU, you are entitled to sickness benefits if you become ill or injured during a holiday in countries outside the EEA. Please note the documentation requirements that you must provide to your employer.

Documentation requirements

Your sick leave must be adequately documented; otherwise, your benefit entitlement may be forfeited.

1. It is required that you can present at least a medical certificate that is:

• clear
• from a hospital, clinic, medical center, or similar, that is registered and verifiable

Your supervisor should inform you of the consequences if the sick leave is not adequately documented before the entitlement to pay during sickness is forfeited.

2. It is recommended that you contact your regular doctor as soon as possible when the illness occurs. You should also visit your regular doctor upon return.

3. Submit a self-declaration form for a foreign medical certificate to NAV.
