Overtidsgodtgjørelse

Overtidsgodtgjørelse is a concept in Danish labor law that refers to the provision of fair compensation to employees who work beyond their scheduled working hours. The term is specifically used in Denmark and is regulated by the Country's working time regulations.

According to Danish law, employees who perform work tasks outside of their regular working hours may be entitled to overtime pay. Overtidsgodtgjørelse is intended to ensure that employees are fairly compensated for their extra work and to prevent exploitation.

The regulations governing overtidsgodtgjørelse in Denmark are based on the collective bargaining agreements between employers and employee unions. These agreements typically specify the conditions under which overtime work is permitted and the rates of pay that apply.

In general, overtidsgodtgjørelse is subject to the following conditions:

* The overtime work must be agreed upon in advance between the employer and the employee.

* The employee must be paid at a rate of at least 50% above the normal hourly rate for the first two hours of overtime worked.

* For every hour worked beyond the first two hours of overtime, the employee must be paid at a rate of at least 100% above the normal hourly rate.

Overtidsgodtgjørelse is an important aspect of labor law in Denmark, as it helps to protect the rights of employees and ensure that they are fairly compensated for their hard work.
