The Holiday Act was established on 13 April 1938,[12] giving workers’ the right to two weeks of paid holiday. The law progressed into the creation of the organisation, ‘People’s Holiday’ (Danish: ‘Folkeferie’), which was created to support and provide holiday opportunities for workers.[13]Employees were granted holidays, so this organization was established to ensure they had somewhere to take them.[14] They developed holiday towns (Esbjerg, Gilleleje, Middlefart, Karrebæksminde, Marielyst) and constructed hotels throughout several cities in Denmark.[15] The establishment of the law and the People’s Holiday organization meant that workers received time off and pay, which could both be spent at various holiday destinations throughout Denmark. By 1979, paid holiday days had increased to five weeks.[16]
The most recent amendment to the act was to comply with the European Union legislation.[17] The Danish Parliament formulated the amendments in 2018, to be set into action in 2020, which included the implementation of a transitional arrangement commencing in 2019.[2] The previous law did not conform to international standards because not all workers in Denmark received five weeks of paid holiday. Under the previous regulation, workers earned holiday days for the succeeding holiday year. Inconsistent with EU legislation, employees new to the Danish working market, did not have any earned days of holiday to take their first year of employment.
