With an hourly rate of down to 20 dollars and working days of over 12 hours of wear, the underpaid employees of their employer.
The incoming chinese will be registered with the Danish authorities with a monthly salary of at least 35.500 dollars, but the reality can be quite different. In some cases, they serve chinese chefs only 7000-9000 dollars a month after tax, writes the Magazine 3F.

One of the ways the employer cheats its employee can be to manage the person’s easy id and bank account.
On the way, the chef is not power over his own salary, and the employer can therefore circumvent beløbsordningen, which ensures the chefs a minimum wage, explains Frederik Gammeltoft is head of unit at the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (Siri).
which Danish companies in the hotel and catering industry has used to dabble with, is that the chefs must repay part of their salary.
On paper, the chinese cook to the legal minimum, but he’ll never get all the money. Instead, they are being moved into and out of the account, as the chef has.

It is according to Frederik Gammeltoft a widely used method to circumvent the rules on. The chef, who has been granted a residence permit, also takes his wife with him to Denmark, where she works for free.
On the way the employer will get two employees for one price.
