Proposed Bill or Initiative
Author: Bo Enevold Uhrenfeldt, Partner – Littler | enevold
In March 2023, the Danish Government proposed a bill known as the “Act on Employment Certificates and Certain Working Conditions,” to replace current law (the latter is known as the Act on Employment Certificates). The proposed bill, which was introduced to transpose Directive (EU) 2019/1152, will expand the scope of the employer’s obligation to inform the employee of the employee’s employment conditions. Among the provisions, whereas the current law covers all employees working more than eight hours per week, the new law will cover employees working three hours per week. The bill also introduces minimum standards for employment conditions.
The bill has not yet been adopted by the Danish Parliament. However, according to government announcements, it is expected to be effective on July 1, 2023.
