Expanding into international markets such as Denmark presents significant opportunities for growth, yet managing local employment, compliance, and payroll can be a complex challenge. With NXWORK’s Employer of Record (EOR) services, you can simplify your entry into the Danish market, enabling you to hire and manage employees without establishing a local entity.

What is an Employer of Record (EOR)?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party organisation that assumes the legal responsibility of employing workers on behalf of another company. In Denmark, this means NXWORK serves as the legal employer of your local workforce while you retain full control over their daily tasks and assignments. We handle all aspects of payroll, benefits administration, tax compliance, and HR management, ensuring your business operates in accordance with Danish employment regulations.

Key Advantages of Using EOR Services in Denmark
1. Efficient Hiring Without Establishing a Local Entity
One of the primary benefits of NXWORK’s EOR services is the ability to hire employees in Denmark without the need to create a legal entity. This significantly reduces administrative costs and legal expenses while enabling your team to commence operations swiftly, with full compliance with local employment regulations.
2. Full Payroll and Tax Compliance
Payroll management in Denmark is complex due to its progressive tax system and mandatory social contributions. NXWORK’s payroll experts handle all aspects of salary processing, including tax deductions, holiday pay, and social insurance contributions. We also ensure compliance with obligations related to overtime pay, income tax, and pension schemes, preventing costly errors or legal complications.
3. Navigating Danish Employment Laws with Ease
Denmark’s labour laws are among the most employee-friendly in the world, covering aspects such as notice periods, severance pay, and collective bargaining agreements. NXWORK guarantees that your business remains fully compliant with these regulations, including adherence to minimum wage requirements and family-friendly policies such as maternity and parental leave.
4. Employee Benefits Management
Denmark provides employees with generous benefits, including 25 days of annual leave, comprehensive healthcare coverage, and extensive parental leave policies. NXWORK ensures that your workforce receives the full range of statutory entitlements while maintaining compliance with local employment laws. We also oversee social insurance contributions, ensuring protection in case of workplace injuries, illness, or other incidents.
5. Fast and Compliant Onboarding
Onboarding employees in a foreign market can be challenging, but NXWORK streamlines the process. We manage all legal and administrative requirements, from drafting employment contracts to securing work permits (where necessary). Our efficient onboarding system enables new hires to commence work rapidly, often within 48 hours of contract signing.
6. Cost-Effective Expansion
By leveraging an EOR, businesses can avoid the high costs associated with establishing and maintaining a local entity in Denmark. This allows companies to allocate resources more effectively, prioritising business growth and development over administrative burdens.

Proper handling of notice periods for resignations and terminations, which vary depending on seniority and contract type.
