Your company collective agreement
The members have voted yes to the new company collective agreement here at Danske Bank. It will be valid from 1 April 2025 and three years ahead.
She says about the negotiations:
”We experienced a good and objective negotiating climate in a proper tone. But sometimes intense in areas where we did not see things as the same and because things were all getting worse in the last hours of the negotiations. It was also clear, however, that both parties had a constructive mind during the negotiations”.
Employees on individual contracts
It was our great wish to include individual contract staff members in the negotiations. But the bank rejected this unequivocally for the argument that these circumstances must be agreed individually and not collectively.
At the moment, organisational meetings are held between Finance Denmark and Finansforbundet in relation to, if you as an employee withdraw from your individual contract and switch to the being employed under the company collective agreement. When the work has been completed, it will be incorporated into the company collective agreement.
We are still working extremely hard to improve the conditions for you who are employed on an individual contact basis and will continue to verbalise the terms of contract staff to Danske Bank.
If you are employed under an individual contract, the terms of your individual contract will apply instead of the company collective agreement. But because the collective agreement as a whole provides the framework for all employees of Danske Bank in Denmark, some of it also has an impact on you.
About the negotiations

Other collective agreement questions
This applies to all employees under the company collective agreement at Danske Bank in Denmark.
If you are employed under an individual contract, the terms of your individual contract will apply instead of the company collective agreement.
But because the collective agreement as a whole provides the framework for all employees of Danske Bank in Denmark, some of it also has an impact on you.
If the members vote yes to the agreement, the agreement will apply from 1 April 2025 and three years ahead. The agreement will therefore apply retroactively if a result is achieved after that date.
