Questions

• Can non-EU citizens work in Denmark?

  Yes, with an employer-sponsored work permit requiring a job offer and salary meeting minimum thresholds set by the state. Sponsorship must come from an approved employer, and the position cannot be filled by an EU/EEA worker first.

• What contract types do employers use?

  Written contracts are mandatory and specify weekly hours, usually 37. Trial periods up to three months precede permanent roles; fixed-term contracts exist but require documentation of genuine temporary need.

• How many hours per week do Danes typically work?

  The standard is 37 hours weekly across most sectors. Collective agreements often define this, though individual contracts may vary slightly by role and industry.

• What happens to wages if someone works overtime?

  Overtime compensation depends on the collective agreement or contract terms; it may be paid at a premium rate or granted as compensatory time off. Not all roles qualify for overtime pay.

• What documents do employers ask for when hiring?

  A CV and references are standard. Employers also require a CPR number for tax and social registration; some roles request police clearance or professional qualifications relevant to the position.

• How is salary paid in Denmark?

  Salaries are paid fortnightly or monthly directly to a bank account via transfers. Payment dates are fixed and stated in the contract; this is called løn.

• What is ATP and why does it appear on payslips?

  ATP is a mandatory occupational pension fund to which employers and employees both contribute. It is deducted from wages automatically and is not optional.

• Are there mandatory holidays or leave entitlements?

  Yes; statutory holidays are observed nationally. Most employees receive at least 25 days annual holiday including public holidays, though collective agreements may provide more.

• What are the trial period rules?

  Trial periods (prøvetid) of up to three months are standard before permanent employment begins. Either party can terminate during this period without cause and with shorter notice.

• Do part-time roles follow different rules?

  Part-time work follows the same contract and legal framework as full-time roles; hours are simply reduced and specified in the contract. Pension contributions and statutory rights apply proportionally.
