Attractive jobs in Denmark – BlueCollar JobSupply

If you’re an EU citizen, all you need is an employment contract – which we’ll arrange for you. If you’re from outside the EU, you need a residence permit, which our coordinators will help you apply for.

You’ll get a standard Danish employment contract with union-level pay and the same working conditions as permanent staff. The first contract is temporary, but it can be extended.

After you get a CPR number and a tax card – which we apply for on your behalf. Until then, you’ll receive weekly advances. Once the tax card is registered, you’ll receive a full salary minus the advances.

Wages in Denmark are stated as gross amounts, so we can’t say exactly what you’ll receive after tax. Your final pay depends on your personal tax situation. The tax rate is determined by the Danish tax authority. During the recruitment process, you’ll receive a pay simulation showing your approximate net pay every 14 days.
