Example without receivable salary

How do we calculate whether you have salary receivable?

You are employed in Bank Z with a monthly salary including fixed supplements of DKK 45,000.
You are terminated and released from notice on 31 October, with 5 months’ notice, so you will resign on 31 August. I.e. your period of being released from notice runs from 1 November to 31 March, and you are entitled to 5 months’ gross salary if you do not find a new job during the period of being released from notice.

The gross monthly salary in Bank Z is calculated as follows:

Description Amount
Monthly salary + fixed supplements [e.g. salaried employee and specialist supplements] DKK 45,000
The employer’s pension contribution [11.25%] DKK 5,063
Free phone [the taxable value you deduct] DKK 242
Free car [the taxable value you deduct] DKK 0
Insurances* [the taxable value you deduct] DKK 400
Total gross monthly salary DKK 50,705
Total gross salary during the period of being released from notice DKK 253,523

*Insurances refers to, e.g.: group life insurance, accident insurance, dental insurance and health insurance. This also includes other insurances where you deduct the taxable value.

New employment

You get a new job at Bank Q on 1 January with a monthly salary including fixed supplements of DKK 40,000. The gross monthly salary in Bank Q is calculated as follows:

 

Description Amount
Monthly salary + fixed supplements [e.g. salaried employee and specialist supplements]
DKK 40,000
The employer’s pension contribution [11.25%] DKK 5,200
Free phone [the taxable value you deduct]
DKK 242
Free car [the taxable value you deduct] DKK 0
Insurances* [the taxable value you deduct]
DKK 400
Total gross monthly salary DKK 45,842
Total gross monthly salary from the new job during the period of being released from notice [3 months, January, February and March] DKK 137,526

*Insurances refers to, e.g.: group life insurance, accident insurance, dental insurance and health insurance. This also includes other insurances where you deduct the taxable value.

Calculation

It is thus now relevant to calculate whether you are entitled to a salary in addition to the minimum compensation of 3 months’ gross salary from Bank Z.

The calculation is as follows:

Description Amount
Total gross salary from Bank Z during the period of being released from notice DKK 253,523
Minimum compensation [November, December and January] DKK -152,114
Total gross salary from Bank Q during the period of being released from notice
[3 months, January, February and March]
DKK -137,526
Results
DKK -36,117

According to the information, you are not entitled to additional salary from Bank Z in addition to the minimum compensation. The calculation is the same if you are instead released from notice on 15 October. This is because even if you are released from notice on 15 October and the minimum compensation is the current month + 3 months, i.e. a total of 3.5 months, the calculation is the same because your notice period is also extended by half a month, i.e. it will be 5.5 months instead of 5 months.
