In this part 4 of the FAQ, we will cover questions related to
collective redundancies.
What is the legal framework for collective redundancies?
The Danish Act on Collective Redundancies (the "Act")
is based on the EU Directive of 20 July 1998 relating to collective
redundancies. The Act does not apply to an employer subject to a
collective bargaining agreement stipulating obligations
corresponding to the Act.
When do the rules on collective redundancies apply?
The Act applies if an employer within a continuous 30-day period
contemplates dismissing:
- at least ten employees in companies employing 21 - 99
employees;
- at least ten per cent of the employees in companies employing
100 - 299 employees;
