5–7 days onboarding with employment contract, payroll, and tax setup ready to go.
Employment contracts
We support permanent, part-time, temporary, and contractor agreements, outlining role, pay, benefits, leave, working hours, and termination terms depending on the role and agreement.
Background checks
With candidate consent, we arrange checks covering criminal records, employment history, education, and credit reports where applicable.
Equipment provisioning
We make employee onboarding effortless by managing all equipment provisioning. We also have ties with multiple co-working spaces to boost employee productivity where possible.
The following services are available as add-ons, based on your hiring needs. Please contact us for more information on the availability of these services as per local laws.
Your team gets paid right, every time
Salary structuring
We set up salaries to include base pay, allowances, contributions for eligible employees (citizens and employees from GCC countries), and statutory entitlements such as gratuity and holiday pay. Overtime is paid at the employee’s normal salary, plus a premium depending on the time/day the overtime is carried out, except for certain categories of employees, such as supervisors.
Taxes
There is no personal income tax in the UAE. Employers contribute 17.5% to social security for eligible UAE nationals; employees contribute 5%.
Payouts
Employees are paid in AED, with payroll cycles aligned to UAE Wage Protection System requirements. Payslips, bank transfer letters, and gratuity calculations are included.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
ATP Pension
Employers contribute two-thirds and employees one-third to the Danish Labor Market Supplementary Pension Fund (ATP), paid alongside regular wages.
Health Insurance
Eligible employees can access Denmark’s national health insurance scheme, which covers most medical services. In some industries, it is common for the employer to pay for medical insurance for the employees and their families.
Work Injury Insurance
Occupational accident insurance is mandatory to cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, and wage loss due to work-related injuries.
Unemployment Insurance
Employees may choose to join an unemployment insurance fund (A-kasse) for income support if they lose their job. It is optional and common in Denmark.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Employment laws
We meet Denmark’s core labor requirements, including the Danish Salaried Employees Act for contracts, notice periods, and severance; the Holiday Act for 5 weeks of paid leave; the Working Environment Act for workplace safety; equal pay and anti-discrimination laws; and rules on restrictive covenants in employment contracts.
Worker classification
We can help correctly classify employees, contractors, and temporary staff to align with Danish laws and sector agreements, reducing the risk of penalties.
Audit-ready documentation
Employment contracts, payroll records, and benefit contributions are maintained in line with SKAT and labor authority requirements, so you’re prepared for inspections or audits.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Holiday calculations in Denmark are one of the most complicated in Europe. Employees need to accrue holidays before they have the legal entitlement to take them. However, some employers are a little more flexible since the change in Laws in 2019. Each full-time employee (working 5 days per week) accrues 2.08 days holiday per month, which equates to around 25 working days holiday each year.
Sick leave
Employees can take up to 30 days of paid sick leave, with additional provisions based on collective agreements.
Parental leaves
Up to 50 weeks, including maternity, paternity, and shared parental leave. Mothers can take 4 weeks before birth and 14 weeks after; fathers get 2 weeks after birth. The remaining 32 weeks can be shared if eligible.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly
Notice periods
The Danish Salaried Employees Act sets notice periods ranging from one month for employees with less than five months’ service to six months for those with more than eight years of service. These timelines apply unless otherwise agreed in the employment contract or collective agreement.
Severance pay
Depending on tenure, employees may be entitled to one or three months’ salary as severance, typically paid with the final salary. The requirement for severance is determined by the Danish Salaried Employees Act or sector-specific agreements.
