The regulations require employers to report the posting of workers to the appropriate register in the destination country. In France, such a register is SIPSI, in Belgium – Limosa, in Germany – ZOLL. In Denmark, however, the declaration must be made in RUT.

1. What is RUT?

Registret for udenlandske tjenesteydere, abbreviated RUT (in Polish: Register of Foreign Service Providers), is an electronic system for registering services provided in Denmark by foreign entities.

The Danish authorities have access to the data collected in the register. They can use the information collected to check that the posting companies are legal and for statistical purposes.

2. Who is required to report to RUT?

The obligation to report a service to RUT rests with foreign entrepreneurs posting employees, as well as foreign entrepreneurs who are self-employed and provide a service in Denmark, but do not employ any employees. It is also the responsibility of temporary employment agencies that post workers to work in Denmark.

The obligation to register services is not absolute. It does not apply:

  • if the service is provided in connection with the delivery of technical objects or parts of a technical installation and lasts no longer than 8 days, and the employee or the person running the business is a specialist or has the qualifications necessary for assembly, installation, maintenance, repair or providing information about technical installation in Denmark – this exception does not apply to the construction industry;
  • for business trips to companies that are not permanently established in Denmark;
  • to post employees within the same capital group for a period of up to 8 days – this exception does not include services provided in construction, agriculture, forestry, horticulture, cleaning, hotel and restaurant services;
  • to provide accounting and auditing consulting services of up to 8 days;
  • for cabotage, road part of combined transport and bus cabotage in Denmark – these services must be registered in the register of foreign operations in Denmark;

3. Application deadline

The notification to RUT should be made at the latest on the date of commencement of the service provision.

4. Form of filing the declaration

Reporting to RUT can only be made electronically, via a dedicated website. The register is available at several addresses:

It is not possible to submit a paper-based declaration. Only exceptionally, if for technical reasons it is not possible to make a notification via the website, you can send an informational e-mail to the following addresses: rut@erst.dk </ a >, at@at.dk .

5. Service registration

In order to register the service in RUT, a user account must be created. After entering the relevant data and clicking the “create an account” icon, a message with an activation link will be sent to the e-mail address provided in the registration form. Only after clicking on this link, the RUT account becomes fully active and the service can be registered.

6. Service request confirmation

Registration of the service in RUT will take place only after the user approves the completed form. After this action, the user will be displayed an appropriate message, and the registration confirmation will be sent to the previously provided e-mail address.

It is extremely important to have a document confirming the service request. A foreign contractor providing services in the construction, agriculture, forestry, horticulture and cleaning industries is required to provide his Danish contractor with confirmation of the service registration in RUT. This should take place on the day of commencement of the service at the latest. If the foreign entrepreneur does not provide the confirmation or the information on the place and time of the service is incorrect or incomplete, the Danish client should notify the Labor Inspectorate within three days from the start of work.

7. Amendment of notification

It is possible to change the previously submitted application. However, this may take place no later than the first working day following the shift.

The change may apply to a future, ongoing or completed service. For a completed service, the change may only apply to the client. However, in other cases, the change may concern:

  • start and end dates for registered people, including contacts;
  • the start and end dates of the service at the specified location;
  • adding or removing reported people – both employees and contact persons,
  • principals.

It should be noted here that an already registered service cannot be deleted.

8. Sanctions

The Labor Inspectorate may punish the foreign entrepreneur with a fine of DKK 10,000 or file an indictment with the Police for failure to comply with the obligation to report or for providing inconsistent or incomplete data in the notification. In the event of repeated failure to comply with the obligation to register the service, the entrepreneur may be fined 20,000 Danish kroner.
