  • Mandatory Employee Benefits in Denmark

    According to the Danish Working Environmental Act, the employer is obliged to ensure that employees can carry out the work safely and correctly. This means that the employer must ensure that the employees have the necessary equipment to carry out the work, including a computer, mobile phone, internet etc.

    Furthermore, if the employee has any expenses to carry out the work, the employer must refund these.

    If the employee is allowed to use company-paid equipment (e.g. computer, internet and mobile phone) for private purposes, please note that this is taxable with approx. DKK 242 per month.    

    Non-Mandatory Employee Benefits in Denmark

    The most common non-mandatory benefits in Denmark.

    Additional annual leave

    Some companies give employees an extra week of paid annual leave.

    Private pension fund

    Private pension plans are a standard benefit in Denmark, which the employer and the employee contribute both to (on average 6%-10% of salary). Since public pensions are relatively small, offering a private pension adding it to the salary package makes employers more competitive.

    Flexible working hours

    Most tech companies offer flexibility to employees, to choose what hours they want to work and have better work and life balance.

    Hardware and phone

    Most tech companies provide hires with various equipment.

    Massage

    Some tech companies offer paid massages to help employees who spend the day in front of the computer.

    Bonus

    Depending on the employee's position, some companies offer a bonus based on KPIs.

    Healthcare

    Some companies give employees free medical insurance.
