Our employer of record (EOR) services supports your expansion into the most competitive economy in Europe
Known for their world-leading living standards and generous welfare system, it is perhaps unsurprising that Denmark is listed among one of the most popular places to live and work. However, thanks to its robust economy that topped the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking for the second year running in 2023, the Nordic country is increasingly become a popular country for business expansion.
Denmark's strong economy and even stronger work and living standards have been brought about as a result of the Danish Model which is made up of the following:
- Collective agreements - pay and working hours are generally agreed via collective agreements in Denmark. Unions generally liaise with employers on behalf of employees to agree suitable terms.
- Tripartite cooperation - employment policies and regulations such as working environment, job placement and unemployment insurance are generally discussed and decided on between the state, employers' organisations and trade unions.
- High degree of organisation - the above two facets operate thanks to the general agreement between The Confederation of Danish Employers (DA) and The Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) which includes regulations on collective industrial actions, worker dismissals, employer distribution of work and breaches of collective agreements.
The employment system in Denmark also relies on 'flexicurity': the combination of flexibility and security. This is essentially said to balance a high mobility rate between jobs (employees can leave posts and employers can dismiss employees with ease in line with collective agreements) with a fair, comprehensive income safety net for those who are unemployed and an active labour market for those seeking employment.
The Danish labour market model is wholly unique to the country and different to anything adopted by its European counterparts. It can therefore take foreign employers a while to get to grips with the Dane's best practices. This is where our expert EOR services come in.
What is an Employer of Record?
Generally speaking, the terms EOR and PEO are used interchangeably but both refer to the management of your international hires. While you are responsible for the day-to-day management of your employee, an EOR takes responsibility for HR and employee management. Our Denmark EOR service includes:
- Understanding collective agreements
- Complying with the Danish Salaried Employees Act and the Danish Holiday Act
- Paying taxes and social security contributions
- Running payroll
- Providing employee benefits
- Helping you work to the Danish Model
In addition to this, an employer of record allows you to expand into Denmark without establishing a legal entity allowing you to access Denmark's strong economy quickly and without the long-term ties of a subsidiary.
Why do I need an Employer of Record in Denmark?
In order for your business to operate in any new country, you will need to establish a legal entity. Despite this setting out your long-term intentions in the country, establishing a subsidiary is a lengthy process not to mention a resource-heavy one. Add to this navigating unfamiliar labour regulations and your business expansion can soon be halted by red tape not to mention rapidly eating into your expansion's resources and budget. This is where our Employer of Record services come in.
By outsourcing the management of your new employees in Denmark, you can reap the benefits of Denmark's prosperous economy and strong export market without the lengthy, complicated process of establishing an entity. With extensive experience with the Danish Model and 'flexicurity' our expert EOR team can handle your expansion into Denmark compliantly and with due attention to the relevant regulations.
Meanwhile, we can also take charge of your employees' visa requirements, tax, employee onboarding and payroll allowing you and your employees to reap the benefits of one of the happiest countries in the world, according to the World Happiness Report.
Denmark's solid, well-funded education system leads to a steady stream of top talent for businesses in Denmark. Our extensive experience as a recruitment partner ensures you can compete in this competitive market, securing the leading talent and becoming a sought-out employer in this top European location.
