kob0mnlThere is no law against agreeing on having unpaid training. It would be against pretty much any collective union agreement, and therefore usually not a problem in Danish contracts.
So depending on the agreement you had with your employer, this might be lawful. If however you did agree on pay beforehand, and this did not include nonpaid training you might have a case.
But in the end, you will need to speak to a lawyer or your union.

kob1gxeHi, i don't have any clause on my contract regarding, the non payment of training hours. So i guess general law is applied, right?

kob2hx5We don't have laws like that here. It comes down to your contract and what you as an employee agreed to, ideally in writing. (since it's harder to prove verbal agreements, even if they are as binding)

kob7ohhI see. I don't have nothing in my contract regarding the hours spent on training.....

kobpv6lIn that case it would probably be hard for your employer to argue that those hours are unpaid. But only a union or lawyer could tell you for sure, and you'll need them anyway to handle the case. Union membership is a very good idea, though it isn't cheap (but at least there's a tax deduction). Many employers try to take advantage of foreign workers.

kob2r8pI don't know what you mean by "general law" - what law are you referencing?

kob7jncI've seen here :
That all the hours spent on training must be payed like a normal working hour. In my contract there is nothing written agreeing with having unpaid training hours

kobbpcyI am no lawyer, but the law states
The first part limits when payment is mandatory during training, to training that is required by law or collective agreements
How this works out, in your specific case, I have no clue, as stated before, contact a lawyer or union.
