Are you member of a fagforening/union? If you are, you should contact them. (If you aren't, you should become one).
My guess is that is has something to do with the right and benefits that they have to provide to you if you are an employee. And maybe they don't want to provide that to you if you only work there half as much as the other employees.
It is really just a guess. The first thing that came to mind.

That would make sense. Thank you.
I'm in the process of choosing a union. I've been recommended Djøf; do you know if it's the best option? Then I can ask them questions about salary negotiations directly once I become a member.

It depends on your job. I haven't directly heard anything bad about them.

If communications then Journalistforbundet.

Yeah, that way you wont get any benifits, and therefore you should charge more. I spoke with my union about something similar and they said i should charge 3x what my normal salary was. Anything less would be unfair.

Good to know! Thank you.
What union are you a member of? I'm trying to figure out which one is the best option for me.

What do you do?

Well for this position I would be working in communication, mostly social media management.

That leaves you with many possibilities, like HK privat, Kommunikation og Sprog (KS). And probably many more. (Not my field)

Freelancer since the middle naughties here.
Yes, as a contractor you pay your own holidays, sick-days and pension.
Your rate should reflect this. Also some claim you have more "job security" as a fixed employee. I must admit I fail to see how in Denmark. It is easy to hire and equally easy to fire which is generally why companies are not afraid to do either (as opposed to say France or Norway).
The paperwork involved in having someone work as a contractor as opposed to a fixed employee is way less. All you need to have is a contract and then expect the contractor to bill you / invoice.

Thank you very much for your comments, very informative. I also feel the job security thing is quite different from what I've experience in other countries.

Maybe I should say - the paperwork for you as a contractor is quite a bit more. You have to keep correct ledgers for your company, probably have an accountant and turn in your VAT taxes twice a year (four times if your turnover is large enough), and hand in taxes and result for your company once a year at the first of july.

Is that for basic enkeltmandsvirksomhed? Or more "advanced" company set up? Aps?
They would be my only client so there wouldn't be too much bookeeping, I think.

Pretty much the same. A lot have an ApS or even a A/S as a single person company. It depends a bit on what you plan to do with the company.
