If you have a union contact them, if not contact your municipality.

Sick pay can be complicated. There is "løn under sygdom" paid by the employer and "sygedagepenge" paid by the A-kasse or municipality.

When you are hourly paid, there can be criteria to be met before you are eligible for pay during sick leave by your employer -"løn under sygdom". Usually hourly paid employees do not receive løn under sygdom unless stated in the contact. Some places require f.x. up to 6-9 months employment for this. This is stated in an agreement, assuming the work place has one, and should be easily documented or stated in the contract.

Then there is "sygedagpenge" and that is mentioned in sygedagpengeloven that they refer to in the contract. 1. Either you qualify through your A-kasse (must be a member etc) and here certain criteria have to be met or 2. you qualify through the municipality and here certain criteria have to met, such as the amount of hours that you have worked within the last six months. So based on this, you may or may not qualify, as you either have to be a member of a union and meet the criteria or meet the criteria for municipality.
