Payroll in Denmark

As of 2026, in Denmark, laws governing standard working hours can be found in the Danish Working Environment Act, No. 268 of March 18, 2005, sections 50-51. Other payroll concerns such as mandatory overtime pay and minimum wages may be defined in collective bargaining agreements. (Other laws, legally binding precedents, and collective bargaining agreements may apply.) At Safeguard Global, our Global Pay solution allows you to pay your entire international workforce through one platform, all backed by our experts in payroll compliance. In addition to ensuring the proper taxes are deducted and social contributions are made in Denmark, we can advise on Danish pay laws such as those concerning minimum wages, mandatory payroll frequency, and statutory overtime compensation and bonus payments.

As your employment partner in Denmark, we can also help you craft compensation packages that are competitive for your industry and the roles you’re hiring for. Contact us today to find out more.
