On 24 January 2023, the Minister for Employment submitted a bill to the Danish Parliament to treat the Common Prayer Day as an ordinary working day. The bill also contains rules on compensation for some groups of employees for the extra annual working day. For instance, employees who receive a fixed monthly salary will receive a salary supplement equivalent to the value of a normal working day. If adopted, the rules will enter into force on 1 January 2024.
