Statutory Benefits

Unlike many countries, Denmark has no broad legal requirement for employers to provide a private pension - but occupational pensions are the strong market norm, and most professional employees will expect one.

Toku offers a supplemental occupational pension plan with Danica Pension. Contributions are processed monthly through payroll. The plan is currently a small-group arrangement that can be extended to new Denmark-based hires - contribution rates and plan terms are confirmed per case with the benefits team.
