In Denmark if the company you&#x27;re leaving wants to uphold the non compete, they&#x27;re obliged to pay half of your salary for the duration of the clause.<p>FWIW I&#x27;ve been under non compete, and a couple of other clauses in all of my previous jobs, but they were never enforced. The legal power of non compete in Denmark is from my observations very weak. So much so, that an employer of mine vaived all clauses after a while since it was a bigger hindrance when hiring people than benefit when people left.
