What should I be aware of when I get a job in Denmark?
Trade union
You can talk to your trade union about whether your contract is correct. Your trade union can also help you with many other things regarding your employment.

Unemployment fund
It is also a good idea to join an unemployment fund (a-kasse). An unemployment fund will pay you unemployment benefits if you suddenly find yourself without a job. The unemployment fund can also help you with other things.
They organise courses, for example, and they can also help you with your applications if you are unemployed.
