An employment contract between you as employer and a salaried employee is subject to the Danish Salaried Employees Act.
The Salaried Employees Act sets forth provisions on protection of employees in material issues such as notice, sickness, pregnancy, etc.
The act restricts your scope for action, however, it provides a set of clear-cut rules to comply with.
Who are salaried employees?
Section 1 of the Salaried Employees Act sets forth the scope of the act.
Core categories of salaried employees: - Clerks and office staff within selling and purchasing, office work or a shop assistant
- Persons dealing with technical or clinical consultancy services of a non-artisan or manufacturing nature
- Persons whose work mainly consists of the above types
- Persons managing or supervising workers on behalf of their employer
In addition, for an employee to be subject to the Salaried Employees Act, s/he must be employed for at least 8 weekly hours and occupy a position subject to your instructions.
If you take on a person not covered by the Salaried Employees Act, alternatively, you can choose to employ him/her on conditions closely related to those of salaried employees.
Employing a salaried employee you must be aware that only a few provisions of the Salaried Employees Act can be departed from. Such privisions include probationary employment, temporary work and shortened notice on long term spell of sickness.
Non-salaried employees
Staff of restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, etc. are not subject to the Salaried Employees Act. This is due to the fact that such work is considered of an artisan nature.
Neither are workers in a production facility or a bakery, drivers or warehouse staff.
