In Denmark, we have no legal minimum wage requirement. Good wage and working conditions are secured through collective agreements which the trade unions negotiate on your behalf.
A collective agreement is an agreement about wage and employment conditions applying to a large group of workers which has been negotiated between employer and employees. Without the security of a collective agreement, you risk having to work at poorer wages, to work longer hours, to lose your entitlement to special holidays and unemployment benefits, and much, much more.
Do not tolerate poor working conditions. Join the trade union. 3F is Denmark's largest trade union, and we are there for you when you need help.
- 3F will check your wages and your employment contract and tell you whether you are paid the wages you are entitled to.
