Collective agreements

Collective agreements regulate a large part of the Danish labour market and in many areas they replace or supplement the protective legislation that applies to employment relationships that are not regulated by collective agreements.

Collective agreements

An employer will usually be bound by the collective agreements by the employer's membership of an employers' association, by the adoption of a collective agreement or by the acquisition of a business that is regulated by a collective agreement.
