Under the proposed new legislation - agreed on Friday in principle between the Danish government, unions and employer associations - bosses can decide to mandate workers to show passes, though the employers will not be obliged to do that.
Denmark on Friday proposed to fast-track legislation allowing workplaces to mandate a digital "corona pass" for employees in its latest measure to curb a third wave of infections.
Earlier in the week, the government ordered Danes to present a pass when they visit indoor bars, restaurants and other public places. Usually shown by a phone app, the pass verifies that the holder is vaccinated, has tested negative or has recently recovered from infection.
Under the proposed new legislation - agreed on Friday in principle between the government, unions and employer associations - bosses can decide to mandate workers to show passes though the employers will not be obliged to do that.
If the agreement comes into law as expected next week, Denmark will join a growing number of countries taking similar measures.
