Advice on Employment and Labor Law

Advice on Employment and Labor Law

BDO’s specialized team is ready to provide guidance on everything from the Danish Salaried Employees Act and other aspects of employment law

It is crucial for a company to have a solid understanding of the legal aspects of employment relationships. This benefits both you as an employer and your employees by creating security and trust, ensuring compliance with legislation, and minimizing risks in case of disputes.


Employment law covers much more than just employment contracts and terminations, and navigating the extensive rules, agreements, and legislation can be challenging.

At BDO, we are here to help you with questions such as:

  • What requirements must an employment contract meet?
  • What obligations do you have during ongoing employment?
  • How do you best handle complaints about offensive behavior?
  • What should you be aware of when terminating an employee?
  • How do you manage refusals of reimbursement of benefits?
  • How do you correctly implement new legislation?


As an employer, you are responsible for complying with a wide range of rules and safeguarding employees’ rights. Failure to do so can have financial consequences.

BDO helps you ensure compliance and build a solid foundation for your employment relationships, so you can focus on running and growing your business. We advise both Danish and international companies.

Er jeres virksomhed compliant med dansk ansættelsesret? Få vished med et compliance audit

Is your company compliant with Danish employment law? Gain certainty with a compliance audit

Employment law is constantly evolving—both in Denmark and internationally. As an employer, staying updated on current rules, legislation, and case law can be challenging, especially when new EU regulations also impact Danish conditions. Denmark has a range of complex rules and agreements that directly affect both employees and employers. Lack of oversight can lead to mistakes that may result in financial and legal consequences.


At BDO, we offer an employment law compliance audit that provides clarity on whether your company complies with current Danish legislation.

We review your employment-related documents, update them according to new legislation and case law, and assist with drafting or adjusting relevant HR policies. In addition, BDO has a global network to ensure compliance across borders. The result is a more robust and competitive workplace—and peace of mind that you, as an employer, have your legal obligations under control.
