When Dagbladet asks for examples, she says "sky-high lederlønner and the use of money on spaturer abroad, for example."

I would think that for parents of children in these kindergartens, and for employees who do not have been with on trips, it feels like a mockery, for kindergartens is not running over of milk and honey, " says Thorkildsen, but adds that there are many serious, private actors.

the First part of the reasoning is an employees-travel to Barcelona with "visit to a winery", transportation during your stay and the food and drinks, with a cost of 86 000.

the District writes that "a clean trivselstur for the employees is not an activity that is directly related to the approved barnehagedriften".

the remainder of The applicable salary for the then owner and the owner's related parties (styreren), respectively 824 000 and 950 000 including overtime and board of directors.

According to the tilsynsrapporten was the total salary of at least 395 000 higher than it should have been, from the salary levels in municipal kindergartens.
