Holiday Pay Rules in Denmark
Understanding Holiday Pay in Denmark
Denmark does not have statutory holiday premium pay, but collective agreements often mandate it.
Common Practices
Premium rates of 50-100% are common under collective agreements.
Special Rules and Considerations
The Holiday Act governs annual leave, separate from public holiday pay.
How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Denmark is:
Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked × 1.5
Example: Worker in Denmark
A worker in Denmark earning kr25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 1.5x: kr25 × 1.5 = kr37.50/hour
- Holiday pay: kr37.50 × 8 hours = kr300.00
- Regular pay would be: kr25 × 8 = kr200.00
- Extra premium earned: kr100.00
Key Considerations for Denmark
- Check your employment contract for specific holiday pay entitlements
- Collective agreements may specify higher rates than statutory minimums
- Some industries may have additional holiday work restrictions
- Compensatory time off may be offered instead of or in addition to premium pay
