Publication metadata
Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, consisting of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are not members of the European Union. The Danish judicial system is based on the traditions of civil law as in continental Europe. In general, rules and legal principles are organised in a number of codes. Approximately 80 % of the Danish labour market is covered by

collective agreements. Collective agreements cover areas such as wages and parental leave rights. Thus, collective agreements play a significant role in the legal landscape regarding work-related issues. The agreements are concluded by the labour market parties themselves and the state is not party or in any other way involved in such agreements. A special arbitration panel as well as the Labour Court have been set up by the state in order to assist in solving conflicts in the labour market. Specific legislation concerning employees in general has mainly been passed as part of the process of implementing the European Union directives. The Danish welfare model is to a large extent funded by general taxes. Regulation and interpretation of social security benefits are tied to the Parliament; courts, in their interpretation of regulations, often follow the intent of the legislators. This suggests that judicial interpretations of the legislation are very closely linked to the preparatory work. In addition to the court system, there are several specialised administrative complaint boards in Denmark. The Board of Equal Treatment (the Equality Board) was established in 2009. The board handles individual complaints on all grounds of discrimination. Decisions of the Equality Board can be brought before the courts.
