If you work at Danfoss, Danske Bank, DSB, Netcompany, or Salling Group and you are a volunteer at the Danish National Guard, you can get one week off with pay (time that you need to use for activities at the national guard). More companies are expected to follow with a similar opportunity for their employees.
- You don’t need to be a Danish citizen to serve in the Danish National Guard. If you have lived five years in Denmark (regardless of your background), you can apply. I am also a member of the Danish National Guard, and I must say it’s one of the most exciting experiences you can have in Denmark.
