Frequently asked questions

• Does Denmark have strong employment protection like Germany?+

  Denmark does not have a blanket social-justification requirement for dismissal of the kind found in much of Continental Europe. Denmark's flexicurity model makes dismissal legally easier than in most of the region: employers can generally terminate with proper notice and, where relevant, compensation. The Funktionaerloven (Salaried Employees Act) governs most professional roles and sets notice periods from one month to six months. Long-tenured employees can claim compensation of up to three months' salary on unjustified dismissal. In practice, collective agreements (overenskomster) in many sectors add procedural requirements beyond the statutory minimum. Ask your EOR whether a real Danish employment-law expert handles these situations directly.
• What are the statutory employer contributions in Denmark?+

  Danish statutory employer contributions include ATP (Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension, approximately 284 DKK per month per full-time employee for the employer share), AUB (Arbejdsgivernes Uddannelsesbidrag, approximately 250 DKK per month), AES (Arbejdsmarkedets Erhvervssikring, variable by industry) and a Barsel.dk parental-leave contribution. Combined, these run roughly 2 to 4% of gross salary, considerably lower than most Continental European markets. All EOR providers pass these through at cost. Budget separately for collective agreement pension (CBA), which can add 8 to 17% of salary in many sectors.
• How does the Danish holiday act work for an EOR employee?+

  Under the Ferieloven (Danish Holiday Act 2020), every employee accrues 2.08 paid holiday days per month of employment, totalling 25 days per year. The concurrent holiday model (introduced in 2020) means employees can take holiday in the same year it accrues, without a waiting period. Employees paid by the hour, or those not covered by a collective agreement that provides full pay during holidays, are entitled to a holiday pay supplement of 12.5% of their wages. The EOR is responsible for tracking accrual and ensuring the correct supplement is paid.
• What is the Danish flexicurity model and how does it affect hiring via EOR?+

  Flexicurity is Denmark's combination of flexible labour market rules (relatively easy hire and fire compared to most of Continental Europe), a generous state-funded unemployment system, and active labour market policies. For EOR hiring, it means that dismissal for most professional roles is legally simpler than in much of the region, provided the Funktionaerloven notice periods are observed and any relevant collective agreement procedures followed. It does not mean employment is risk-free: long-tenured employees carry compensation rights, and collective agreements in many Danish sectors (tech, finance, engineering) add procedural obligations. The EOR carries these obligations on your behalf.
• When should we consider setting up our own Danish ApS instead of using EOR?+

  The right moment depends on the number of Danish employees, their salary levels and the fixed cost of running an Anpartsselskab (ApS). As a rough guide, when monthly EOR fees approach or exceed the cost of a local accounting firm plus the administrative overhead of your own entity, the crossover has arrived. For most companies, this happens at five to eight Danish employees. The ApS requires a minimum share capital of 40,000 DKK and a registered address in Denmark. Teamed models the crossover point proactively and can set up and run the ApS via its Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) service across 100+ countries.
• How current is this comparison, and how was it scored?+

  Provider pricing was last checked on 22 July 2026 against each provider's own pricing page, and security certifications (ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II) were re-checked the same day. Where a provider does not publish pricing (G-P is quote-only, Rippling lists a figure only on its blog, Pebl is quote-led in practice), we say so rather than presenting an estimate as the provider's own number. Danish statutory facts reference retsinformation.dk and ATP.dk, verified 22 June 2026. Each of the eight providers is scored 1 to 5 on six Denmark-focused axes with no weighted total and no overall winner. We review the page quarterly and re-verify pricing monthly.

• What employment law applies to salaried employees in Denmark?+

  The Funktionaerloven (Salaried Employees Act, LBK nr. 1015 af 22/08/2022) governs most professional salaried roles in Denmark. It sets statutory notice periods from one month to six months (scaling with tenure), mandates compensation of up to three months salary for unjustified dismissal of long-tenured employees, and defines salaried employees broadly to cover most commercial and office roles.
• Are Danish employer social contributions lower than elsewhere in Europe?+

  Yes, considerably. Danish statutory employer contributions (ATP, AUB, AES, Barsel.dk) run roughly 2 to 4% of gross salary. In much of Continental Europe, employer contributions (pension, health, unemployment and related levies) run approximately 19 to 30% of salary. The gap reflects Denmark funding much of its social safety net through personal income tax and the state, rather than employer payroll levies.
• What is the Danish Ferieloven holiday requirement?+

  The Danish Holiday Act 2020 (Ferieloven) entitles every employee to 25 days of paid holiday per year, accruing at 2.08 days per month. The concurrent holiday model introduced in 2020 allows employees to take holiday in the same year it accrues. Hourly-paid employees not covered by a CBA receive a 12.5% holiday pay supplement on their wages.
• What are Funktionaerloven notice periods in Denmark?+

  Under the Funktionaerloven, the employer notice period scales from one month (service of 0 to 6 months) to six months (service of nine or more years). Employee notice is one month regardless of tenure. Long-tenured employees dismissed without adequate cause are entitled to compensation of up to three months salary. The Act applies to most professional, commercial and office roles.
