WORK HOURS
In Denmark, the normal working week consists of 37 hours spread out on a five-day week.Due to the collective bargaining system there is no upper limit to working hours in Danish legislation. The EU legislation imposes a ceiling on working time of a weekly average of 48 hours. But the Danish system is very flexible.
Holidays
10 paid public holidays are observed. In addition all employees have the right to 25 days of vacation every year. Whether this is paid vacation depends on the duration of the employment - for every month of employment the employee earns 2.08 days of paid vacation. These requirements are law-regulated. Additional days of vacation may exist in some industries depending on collective agreements between employers and employees. For many groups additional 5 days are common.
