Hi there, I have a few questions regarding my situtaion and need some suggestions. I am a full time employee in a company in Copenhagen since 2009. Instead of resigning, employer has offered me to get unpaid leave for 6 months to work on my own company with the possibility to come back to work in case my own company does not work. Sounds a great offer! I am a member of Akasse and have a matured salary insurance (lønforsikring). For those 6 months where I will be working full-time in my own company, I will not be getting any salary from my current employer. Fair enough. I plan to get salary from my own company for that period. Questions are: 1) Will I be Self-employed or employee? 2) If my company goes down after lets say 4 months and lets assume employer has also 'fired' me during unpaid leave / after a few months I go back to my full time job, what would that mean for Akasse. Will I be able to get unemployment fund (provided that I will be available for full time job)? 3) Will I be able to use my tax card (which type) to get full time salary from my own company for that 6 months period? 4) Any sugestions about this situation e.g. what should be written in the agreement with the employer... Thank you very much for your help Regards Iffi |
1 In order to get unemployment fund based on the income you had as employed, then you will no doubt have to close down you company/CVR/enkeltmands - which is fairly easily done
2 no as owner of personal company you do not have salary but are taxed on profit as B income (just same as A same tax deductions but - you make at tax declaration and pay tax based on that)
3 have not understood if there is a guarantee that you can resume your job after 6 month - are obliged to so maybe even - but the contract should of course reflect what ever is agreed - with respect for both parties - maybe a lawyer og HR specialist should help
you need to find out what is good for you - maybe you should have been granted X months notice - which the employer now is free from - and what does that mean to committing to re-employing you in 6 month - and more?
