Self-employment is a way to organize your work and an alternative to starting your own business as it allows invoicing as a private individual without the need for a separate company.
Self-employment is equally suitable for students, professionals and retirees. It also works for those who want to invoice customers abroad and when you want to carry out work abroad. If you are going to work abroad, special rules may apply, contact us before you start working for more information.
Self-employment can be considered a new form of work and is halfway between self-employment and employment. As a self-employed person, you are employed by EasyFreelance but manage your tasks as if you had your own company. You find your own customers, decide the price, payment terms and how quickly you want your money.
As a self-employed person at EasyFreelance, you don't have to pay taxes or manage your company because we have employer responsibility. We take care of the bookkeeping and handle taxes, fees and VAT and make sure they are paid on time so you can focus all your time on your assignments and customers.
As a self-employed person at EasyFreelance, we make sure you are insured and safe throughout your assignment. As a self-employed person, we offer you probably the best insurance on the market. You are always covered by our non-life insurance and group life insurance when you are on assignments approved by EasyFreelance. In most cases, you are also covered by our liability insurance.

You can work when and as much as you want, provided you comply with the Work Environment Act. It's important that you comply with the Work Environment Act for your own well-being and to reduce the risk of accidents. It's when we're tired and stressed that most accidents happen. The Occupational Health and Safety Act specifies both how much you are allowed to work and what exceptions may occur in individual cases.

An assignment agreement is an agreement between two legal parties that regulates and clarifies the agreement on work. The assignment agreement is drawn up between you and your client before the assignment is carried out. The assignment agreement also clarifies your planned working hours, which makes it easier when you, for example, apply for compensation from NAV, claim sick pay or other insurance issues. An oral agreement is legally binding in the same way as an assignment agreement, but one problem with oral agreements is that they are difficult to prove, especially if the parties have different perceptions of what has been agreed. For this reason, we always recommend that assignment agreements are drawn up in writing.
You'll be fine - Send the assignment agreement to our call center and we'll help you read through it and make sure you and EasyFreelance are comfortable with the assignment agreement.
In connection with the submission of your invoice, you also accept the Agreement and the General Terms and Conditions that apply. You are employed by Easyfreelance as a freelancer on assignment. Your employment relationship begins and ends with each assignment you perform, which is the time you invoice for. Remember that you must notify us in advance that you are going to carry out an assignment in order for you to have full insurance and for documentation for social insurance etc.

In order for you to be insured during your assignment, you must pre-register your invoice via our application.
Hint! Once you've completed your assignment, you're just one click away from sending your invoice :)
