Controversies

According to KPMG in November 2019 Norwegian Caverion and Lithuania Caverion paid employees in Norway 99 krones an hour while minimum wage was 184,36 Norwegian krones an hour.[5]

The incident was investigated by Statsbygg in Norway and though several regulatory violations were found, among them violating subcontractors pay and working conditions, the violations were not of the nature that Caverion was considered to have engaged in social dumping.[6]
