    If Arbeidstilsynet means a government agency charged with enforcing labor laws and protecting workers, the American term is "Labor Board" or "Labor Bureau", which is what I was referring to.

    And even in the U.S., when people have shown that they were forced to work unpaid overtime, usually the consequences for the employer are 1) repayment of all back wages, with interest 2) fines severe enough to ensure they never consider doing it again and 3) planned and unplanned audits by the Labor Board for some period of time.
