FOA can help you assess your case and potentially make a claim for back pay. Then you will not risk missing out on money for hours you have already worked.
✔ We will assess whether you are covered by the ruling ✔ We will look into whether you are entitled to back pay from your employer(s)
You must be a member of FOA before we can assess your case. We are currently handling thousands of cases, so the sooner you become a member, the sooner we can address your case.
You must be a member for us to investigate and conduct your case. The FOA union membership is approx. DKK 416/month.
The price varies depending on your local FOA union.
Claims for back pay can become time-barred.
The longer you wait, the greater the risk that you will lose the right to money you have already earned.
We cannot guarantee the right to file a claim. But we can promise to look into it in detail if you are a member.
Become a member of FOA. We will then find out if you are entitled to back pay. Registration takes about 3 minutes. Call us at +45 80 20 20 30 – and we will offer our assistance.
As a member of FOA, you will also benefit from the following:
Because you may be covered by a new decision from the Labour Court which potentially allows you to work with FOA to file a claim for back pay if you have worked additional hours. Money may be owed to your from your employer – possibly even going back many years.
If you become a member of FOA, we will look into your case with you and assess whether it is possible to file a claim so that you might receive more money for hours you have already worked.
Yes, it is necessary for you to be a member of FOA to have your case assessed. It requires many resources to address a case, and it therefore requires membership of FOA.
If you need to file a case, the timing of your registration is very important. The longer you wait, the longer it will take before FOA can look at your specific case. And the longer it takes, the greater the risk that your case will become time-barred, and you will lose the right to claim any back pay. We therefore recommend that you become a member as soon as possible to minimise the risk of your claim becoming time-barred.
Unfortunately, we cannot assess whether you have a case without accessing a lot of information from you, and we only initiate that assessment for members.
But there are also many other good reasons to become a member of FOA and to be part of that community. To mention a couple of examples, you get access to PlusKort and other discount agreements as well as the opportunity for pay reviews and a say in your collective agreement.
The short answer is no.
We cannot say in advance whether you have a case or money owed to you. This is something we need to look into when we review your information.
However, if you have worked part-time within an FOA area in recent years and have worked more than your standard hours, you are likely covered by the ruling and may have money owed to you by your employer.
When we process your case, you will receive further information on what we need from you. Once you have become a member, you do not need to do anything until we contact you.
It is very difficult for us to give you a specific answer. FOA's members have a lot of cases that need to be addressed based on this ruling. There are thousands of cases, so unfortunately, it is not currently possible to say when individual cases will be addressed and how long the processing will take.
Yes, pensioners can become members of FOA and get help with their case if they have worked within an FOA area.
Yes, if you become a member now, you will be a member on the same terms as all other FOA members. You will, for example, have access to PlusKort and other discount agreements as well as the ability to get a pay review and have a say in your collective agreement.
Yes, if you are a member of Krifa or Det Faglige Hus, they can conduct your case, but they must file a civil action before the ordinary courts to attempt to secure a possible back pay for you. Note that it costs money to bring an action.
FOA has won a case in the labour court system. That ruling is quite clear, and many part-time employees within FOA areas may therefore be able to file claims for back pay against their employer. FOA is ready to do this for our members.

We are in the process of reviewing what implications the ruling concerning part time have for you. It requires a thorough assessment, and as a member, you will receive more information when there are updates on the case.
