Danish Holidays

The Danish Holidays filter keeps work performed on the Danish public holidays (helligdage) you tick on the configuration card. It covers the same Christian holidays as the generic Christian Holidays filter and adds the Danish-specific days Grundlovsdag (Constitution Day) and Store Bededag (Great Prayer Day).

When to use

Use this filter when an allowance should be paid on Danish public holidays and you want fine control over which holidays are included.

If you are configuring the Danish public-sector inconvenience-hours or weekend-supplement agreements, the dedicated Danish Inconvenience Hours and Danish Weekend Supplement filters already include the right holiday set and partial-day rules — start with those instead.

Parameters

Each holiday is a separate on/off toggle:

How it works

The filter splits every input range by calendar day and keeps a day only if its date matches one of the enabled holidays. Moving holidays (Easter, Store Bededag, Ascension, Whit) are calculated each year automatically.

A holiday is treated as a full day (00:00–24:00). To restrict Grundlovsdag to its usual from-12:00 window, or Christmas Eve to its from-14:00 window, chain this filter with a Time Interval filter — or use Danish Inconvenience Hours which already encodes those partial-day rules.

Store Bededag

Store Bededag was abolished as a public holiday in Denmark in 2024. The toggle is still available for agreements that continue to honour it.
