Hello to everyone, before everything i want to apologize for not speaking Danish.

I need some advice on a situation, I'm portuguese, working in DK trough a UK agency with a Danish contract, with 14 days work/14 days off.

During this days off, my company told me that i needed to do some mandatory trainings, wich i have done, but now they refuse to pay me any of this hours i spend wich are in total 28 hours plus 3 per diems. And i know that is mandatory this hours to be payed.

There is any danish authority that i can contact? And do i need a lawyer to solve this problem?

Thank you for the help

We 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)

In 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.

Thank you for your help, i think is the best solution is to go through the union.

Appreciate
