# The Social Security (Norway) Order 1991, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes provisions for the modification of the Social Security Act 1975 and that part of the Child Benefit Act 1975 which relates to child benefit, so as to give effect to the Convention on social security and Protocol made between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway on 20th March 1991.
The Convention and Protocol (set out in the Schedule) relate to reciprocity in sickness and maternity benefit, unemployment benefit, invalidity pension, old age pension and survivors benefit, benefits for industrial injuries and diseases, death grant (under the legislation of Jersey and Norway), orphans benefit, child benefit and attendance benefit.
Rules are laid down for employers who send their employees to work temporarily in the other country (including the Continental Shelf Area); they require the said employers to request a certificate of continuing liability and to present this to the authorities in the other country within a specified period in order to prevent liability for contributions arising in the latter country.
