An update of the practice note for assessing whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards
Today, SIRI has published an updated version of the practice note that is used to assess whether an offered salary in certain work cases corresponds to Danish standards.
In March of 2022, SIRI published a note concerning SIRI’s practices concerning the assessment of Danish standards for salary. Since then, the note has been the basis for SIRI’s assessment of questions concerning the Danish standards for salary, in terms of certain work schemes.
The practice note has been updated, among other things, because the Supplementary Pay Limit Scheme and the Fast-track Scheme’s supplementary pay limit track have been added to the work schemes since the last practice note.
The updated version of the practice note covers cases under the Pay Limit Scheme as well as the Supplementary Pay Limit Scheme, the five tracks of the Fast-track Scheme, the Researcher Scheme, the Positive List for People with a Higher Education and Work permits for accompanying family members.
As the practice note states, SIRI will generally not assess whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards within cases where the employment is covered by a collective agreement. Within the cases where the employer is a member of an Employer's organisation, SIRI will assess whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards up until the level just above the regular pay limit. Within additional cases, SIRI will generally always assess whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards.
In cases where SIRI assesses whether the salary corresponds to Danish standards, we will also assess whether the other material terms of employment corresponds to Danish standards.

The practice note applies from 27 September 2024. The practice note also applies to the processing of applications already submitted.
For the work schemes that are not covered by the practice note, the assessment of whether an offered salary corresponds to Danish standards can be found on newtodenmark.com under the individual schemes.
