All of their pilots are hired under UK or Norwegian pilot contracts. Even the American pilots would be hired under OSM, which is a Norwegian agency. And in Europe, you are covered by the labour law of the country where you are based. So Barcelona based pilots for Norwegian are covered by both Spanish and Norwegian/UK labour law, depending which agency they are contracted through. Amsterdam based pilots are covered under Dutch labour law in addition to their contract. Paris based pilots are covered under French labour laws. All of this is in writing, it is in the pilot contracts and it is written into the labour laws of all the countries involved. In addition EASA regulations mean you are also covered under the laws of the country where the aircraft you are operating is registered. All of this has been reported in multiple sources, do a Google search and you will find it.
