How do I register holidays?

If you are going on holiday, you must report it no later than 14 days before on Jobnet.dk – but please register your holiday on Jobnet as soon as you know when the vacation is due. Thereby, you avoid having a deadline to book a meeting, or to be called in for a meeting at the Jobcenter, when you really wanted to be on holiday.

As a starting point, you cannot take a holiday if you have already been called in for a meeting or other activation activities related to the Jobcenter or the unemployment insurance fund (A-kasse).
