Absence
Vacation / Time Off
We prioritize the well-being and happiness of our employees, understanding that a healthy balance between work and spare time activities are essential for the overall engagement.
We believe that taking regular holidays is crucial for maintaining mental and physical health, preventing burnout, and fostering a positive work environment.
Whether it is a long weekend to unwind or a two-week adventure abroad, we encourage all employees to take as much vacation time as they need or desire.
In line with this philosophy, we provide statutory leave in accordance with Danish regulations, ensuring that employees have the opportunity to rest, recharge, and pursue personal interests outside of work.
Holiday Allowance
The accrual of holidays in accordance with the new holiday act runs from 1. September to 31. August the following year.
All employees are entitled to take 25 days of holiday during this period, equivalent to five weeks. Holiday allowance is earned in the same period and can be paid monthly via borger.dk.
The payment to the Holiday Fund amounts to 12.5% of the holiday-eligible salary. It will be highlighted on your pay slip under “Optjente nettoferiepenge aktuelt ferieår”.
Holiday Requests
Requests for holiday must be submitted in writing to your manager a minimum of 2 months in advance, following the shiftplan period.
Your manager is allowed to reject your request for holiday, based on thestores operational needs for example in periods where several colleaguesrequest vacation in the same period or in peak business periods.
Based on operational needs you can not take more than three weeks off holiday consecutively. However, you can agree a period of extended, unpaid leave with your manager in exceptional circumstances.

JOE & THE JUICE understands that emergencies, illnesses, or urgent personal matters may arise that cannot be scheduled outside of work hours.
If you are unable to attend work or will be late, you are required to notify your direct manager by phone as early as possible, but at least one hour before your shift starts. This allows us to find a solution for covering your responsibilities during your absence.
Once you’ve notified your manager, they will register your sickness on Wp2. You must also provide a doctor’s note to the Danish office as soon as possible. At the office, you will need to sign a solemn declaration. The cost of the doctor’s note will be reimbursed in your monthly salary and will appear on your pay slip as “udlæg.”
Please note that if you don't get a doctor’s note for your sick leave, it will be considered an absence from your shift, which could have consequences for your employment. Additionally, Juicers are only entitled to sick pay if they have been employed for more than 8 weeks and have worked a minimum of 74 hours during that period.
Child sickness registration:
If you have your child’s first day of sickness you should still call your manager, who willregister it on WP2. Your shift on the current day will be paid with 100% salary.
C-Suite
Medical and dental appointments should, to the extent possible, be scheduled outside of working hours. In cases where this is not possible, you are permitted to use the Shift Marketplace to swap your shift. If you require additional guidance or assistance with swapping your shift, please contact your manager, who will help you find a suitable solution.
