Absence
Vacation / Hourly pay
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
