Norwegian term or phrase: avspasering av fleksitid
Det er en forutsetning at man er på jobb i kjernetiden og at avspasering av fleksitid i kjernetiden skal varsles minst tre dager i forveien.

Is this simply "claiming time off for flextime" during core hours... (i.e. not showing up because you worked too much flextime)

or

"claiming flextime hours" during core hours... (i.e. not showing up during core hours because you are going to perform the work later during flextime)...

or is it

time away for flexitime
Explanation:
Time off in lieu should not really be related to flexitime (see reference), but this company seems to be happy using it.
I would translate the sentence as follows, as the rule is describing how flexitime can be taken in the standard core hours, providing you apply for it in good time. It is not really compensation (like overtime payments) but the adjustment of flexitime hours.

compensatory time off from flexi-time


Explanation:
avspasering can take a number of forms, but I find compensatory time covers most of the categories.

avspasering is often termed
"Time off with pay in lieu of overtime pay (irregular or occasional overtime work)"
but it not always...
flextime, flexi-time versus core time: see the wiki link below

Example sentence(s):
  • It is a requirement that employees are at work during core hours and that time away for flexitime during core hours is to be applied for at least three days in advance.
