Stays MEDIUM 2026-04-29 (Round I verification pass): Best-available source is the Just Eat Denmark / 3F union CBA (named tier-2: a major union collective bargaining agreement covering a single named platform). Coverage is incomplete. Only Just Eat couriers are under this CBA; Wolt, Foodora, and other platforms remain self-employed. Promotion to HIGH would require either (a) a Danish government wage publication for platform couriers specifically, or (b) all major Copenhagen platforms signing similar CBAs.

Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
