In Denmark, there is no statutory minimum wage set by the government. Wages are determined through collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) between employers and trade unions, and they vary between industries and sectors.
Denmark has a progressive income tax system and is known for its high tax rates and comprehensive welfare system. In addition, different types of income are subject to different tax rates. National personal income tax rates range from 0% to 15%, and municipal tax rates range from 22% to 27%.
Denmark has a well-funded, multi-pillar pension system where both employees and employers contribute to a workplace pension and a labour market pension. The average contribution is around 15%, with the employers’ share of this being around two thirds (between 8-10% of an employee’s basic salary).
In Denmark, a standard working week consists of 37 hours, typically between Monday and Friday and not exceeding 8 hours per day. Any hours exceeding this standard amount are considered overtime, for which rates of pay can be anything between 150-200% of the employee’s regular rate of pay.
Working hours in Denmark are governed by the Working Time Directive Act, which stipulate that an employee cannot work more than an average 48 hours per week, calculated as an average over a 4-month period.
Employee’s leave consists of several types:
- Statutory time off or paid leave, which is 25 days per year for full-time employees
- Public holidays (there are 8 public holidays per year in Denmark)
- Maternity, Paternity and Parental leave
- Sick leave
- National Military or Civil Service Leave
Termination of an employment contract in Denmark should follow a fair process for the dismissal to be lawful. Reasons for dismissal can include, but are not limited to:
- Misconduct
- Capability
- Redundancy
- Other legal or substantial reasons
All dismissals require a minimum notice period to be given, which is dependent on the employee’s length of service.
