If you do white-collar work for more than 8 hours a week,<br />
the stipulations of the Salaried Employees Act automatically<br />
apply.<br />
This is how you apply for complementary benefits<br />
You apply for complementary benefits by sending us a<br />
questionnaire on employment together with a ‘release<br />
certificate’ if you are bound by a notice towards your<br />
employer. Remember we must receive a ‘release certificate’<br />
no later than 5 weeks after you have commenced work. If it<br />
is received later, you only have the right to complementary<br />
benefits once the ‘release certificate’ has been received.<br />
You find the forms on www.ca.dk/blanketter/<br />
Work is offset against your unemployment benefits<br />
You can only get complementary benefits in those weeks<br />
where you are unemployed for at least 7.4 hours.<br />
We deduct the number of worked hours for which you<br />
receive a salary from the unemployment benefits.<br />
If you are paid for more than 37 hours a week, these hours<br />
will be deducted from your unemployment benefits the<br />
following week.<br />
You can also continue to work part time without receiving<br />
complementary benefits.<br />
If you are not bound by a notice towards your employer, you<br />
do not need a ‘release certificate’.<br />
G-days and complementary benefits<br />
When you become unemployed after a job, your employer<br />
must pay the first 3 unemployed days (g-days), if you have<br />
had at least 74 hours of work within 4 weeks.<br />
If you are loosely employed, your employer must pay the<br />
g-days every day you have unemployed hours if you have had<br />
at least 74 hours of work within the previous 4 weeks. Read<br />
more on www.ca.dk/gdage.<br />

one of our insurance counsellors.<br />
If your employer cannot control or has great difficulty with<br />
controlling your working hours, we then deduct your income<br />
relatively using a rate of conversion which in 2013 amounts<br />
to DKK 213.19. That is the case for example if you are a<br />
teacher or a lecturer.<br />
Read about avoiding uncontrollable work time and<br />
conversion on www.ca.dk/kontrollabelarbejdstid.<br />
Time limit of 30 weeks<br />
You can get complementary benefits up to 30 weeks within<br />
a period of 104 weeks. When the 30 weeks have passed,<br />
you can quit your job without being quarantined if at the<br />
earliest you leave your job at the same time as your right to<br />
complementary benefits expires and at the latest 26 weeks<br />
after.<br />
