Handbook

Answer questions about Variant as an employer using the official employee handbook (håndbok) at handbook.variant.no — company purpose and values, benefits, compensation, leave, processes, HMS, security incidents, offices/locations, and other internal policy questions. Use this when a question is about "how things work at Variant" but doesn't obviously belong to one specific handbook section; otherwise prefer the more specific fundamentet, information, prosesser, or avdelinger skill directly.

Using Handbook

Variant Handbook

The handbook is a public, statically generated site — no login required — and is the single source of truth for how Variant works as a company. It is content-managed on GitHub and can change at any time, so never answer policy questions from memory or training data. Always fetch the live page first.

Sections

Skill URL segment Covers
fundamentet /fundamentet/* Purpose & values, life/work balance, how we work (flex hours), social life, compensation philosophy
information /information/* Practical day-to-day info: pay, expense reports (reiseregning), time tracking, vacation, insurance/pension, equipment
prosesser /prosesser/* Internal processes: hiring, HMS (health/safety), sustainability, diversity, leadership, security incidents, contract templates
avdelinger /avdelinger/* Office locations (Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger): address, wifi, practicalities

Steps

  1. Identify which section the question best fits using the table above, then use that section's skill (it has a references/pages.md index of exact pages and URLs).
  2. If the question spans sections or doesn't clearly fit one, fetch https://handbook.variant.no/soek (the search page) or the site root https://handbook.variant.no to locate the right page.
  3. Always fetch the actual page content with WebFetch before answering — do not guess or rely on cached knowledge of what the handbook says.
  4. Content is in Norwegian (Bokmål). Translate for the user as needed, but preserve exact figures, names, and legal/HR specifics rather than paraphrasing loosely.
  5. Cite the URL you used so the employee can open the full page themselves.
