Authorisation for negotiations. The company-specific part (fyrirtækjaþáttur) normally applies to all employees covered by the collective agreements of the unions in question. It is however authorised to make special agreements at individual specific workplaces, if there is agreement to do this. Negotiations on the company-specific part (fyrirtækjaþáttur) take place under an embargo on industrial action of the general collective bargaining agreement and shall be initiated with the agreement of both parties. It should then be clearly stated in writing which parties will be covered by the agreement. When negotiations have been decided, the relevant unions and employers’ associations are notified. It is proper for both parties, employees and representatives of the company, to seek advice from the parties to the negotiation. The parties can either singly or jointly decide to call in representatives of the parties to the agreement for advice on making the agreement, immediately after negotiations have been decided.
