In Denmark, while it's not mandatory for the employment of foreigners to be covered by a collective agreement in their relevant sector, certain conditions apply for foreigners applying for residence and work permits to take up jobs. These conditions include:
1. Pay Limit Scheme
2. Fast track Scheme
3. Researchers Scheme
4. Positive List for People with a Higher Education
5. Positive List for Skilled Work
6. Special Individual Qualifications Scheme
7. Herdsmen and Farm Managers Scheme
8. Internship Scheme
9. Employment for Adaption and Training Purposes Scheme
If the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI) determines that a foreign worker's salary does not meet Danish standards, they request comments from the employer before making a decision on the case. Denmark, like other EU countries, faces labor shortages, particularly needing highly educated workers.
