Parental leave reimbursement – claim what you are entitled to
Many companies lose thousands of kroner in parental leave reimbursement every year – because they do not apply, or apply too late. We handle the entire process for you.
What is parental leave reimbursement?
Parental leave reimbursement is the compensation you as an employer can apply for from Udbetaling Danmark when an employee is on parental leave. The reimbursement can amount to up to the daily allowance rate for the entire parental leave period – and many companies have never applied for it.
