The collective agreement contains a wide range of conditions and a framework for the rights and obligations of employers and workers. Agreements may include provisions relating to working time and work, pay, overtime, etc., leave, pension and other aspects of work. They may also include rules on the working environment and dispute resolution. Different annexes and endorsements can be attached to the agreements. In general, the agreements contain both independent rules and provisions contained in Danish legislation. Our collective agreements include exemptions from Finnish labour law and several options for deviating from the rules of collective agreements through enterprise or employment-specific agreements. In accordance with Section 6 bis of the Worker Detachment Act, a number of conditions must be met to enable Danish trade unions to fight against foreign companies. The section also describes the maximum wage elements that may be required in the collective agreement. Collective agreements are, on the one hand, a union or a unit of collective agreements and, on the other hand, an employer, a company or an employer organization. In Denmark, there are many examples of trade unions taking union action to reach a collective agreement.

This includes Danish and foreign employers. Compared to foreign employers, the right to trade union action in the construction industry has been particularly important. The issue of working hours included in the Competitiveness Pact has been resolved, which allows working hours to be extended by 32 hours per year through local negotiations. If the acceptance of an extension fails despite justified production-related needs, the employer may allocate 8 hours of additional work to dependents in a calendar year. However, this position may not be scheduled for the days of the week or a Saturday in a week, including a week off. In addition, the employer can plan 8 hours of training for the break. The hours allocated by the employer are compensated for the basic salary. A collective agreement is an agreement between two parties on the working conditions applicable to workers in a particular company or sector. In Denmark, neither Danish nor foreign companies are legally required to respect or enter into a collective agreement.
