Persons employed to work in Denmark are covered under the following conditions:
- There must be a contract of employment (written or verbal).
- The contract of employment may be permanent, temporary or transient.
- AU must benefit directly from the work performed by the person concerned. It must be a work effort that completely or partially replaces another otherwise necessary labor or contributes to AU’s tasks/projects.
- AU has instructional authority towards the person. This means that AU determines the nature of the work, the extent of the work, as well as where and when it should be performed.
- Work can be paid or unpaid.
- Persons employed to work in this country, but who are on long or short-term work related travel, are covered by the Workers’ Compensation Act during a foreign stay. The determining factor is whether the person has performed work in Denmark and that it is intended for the employee to return to Denmark to work.
