Floating holidays, a "sixth holiday week" and childcare days must be agreed separately.

This is because these days are in addition to the days to which you are entitled under the Holiday with Pay Act.

You are entitled to a holiday bonus of one percent of the pay you have earned in the previous holiday year.

Higher holiday bonuses must be agreed in the contract.

As a salaried employee, the mother is entitled to time off with half pay from four weeks before expected childbirth to 14 weeks after childbirth.

The father is entitled to time off with government benefits for two weeks in connection with childbirth.

After the birth, the mother and the father may take 32 weeks of parental leave with a total of 32 weeks of government benefits.

A claim for full pay during maternity must appear from the contract.

If the employer wants a special non-solicitation or non-competition clause to apply, this must be separately stated, possibly in the contract.

Being covered by a non-solicitation or non-competition clause is not an advantage, even if it is only valid if compensation is granted. If your employment contract contains such clause, you should try to negotiate it out of the contract or limit it as much as possible.

Free car, free telephone or other benefits should be stated in the contract. You will be taxed according to the current rules.

Other agreements, e.g. on home work, should also be agreed in the contract.

The agreed pay must be stated in the contract.

The contract should also state when pay can be renegotiated.

Working hours are usually 37 hours per week, excluding lunch break, but you can also agree that the lunch break is included in the working hours.

In Denmark, working hours are not laid down by law, and consequently you should agree on working hours in your contract.
