In Denmark, the labour market is regulated by the collective agreements. They are the result of negotiations between employers and employees (whom 3F represents).
The transport sector operates under more than 40 different collective agreements that govern wages and working conditions. These agreements ensure fair and decent workplace standards while granting you important rights, including pension contributions, holiday pay, payment for five additional leave days, public holiday pay, sick pay, and more. This is why it is essential that your employer is covered by a collective agreement.
Before you sign an employment agreement, it is important that you contact your local 3F trade branch. This way you avoid working under poor pay and working conditions.
As, for the transport sector, we operate with more than 40 different collective agreements representing the specific trades, it is important that you contact your local 3F trade union to get advice about the correct wage and employment conditions applicable to your specific trade.
Remember: It is very important that you keep a log/calendar of your daily start and end times.
The Danish Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet) has published a series of leaflets and guidelines outlining the Danish workplace regulations specific to the transport sector. These rules must be followed to ensure your safety and protect your rights as an employee.
