PayTjek is an AI-driven startup helping employees ensure they get the salary they're entitled to — with just one click. Users simply upload their payslip, and our AI automatically checks for errors and discrepancies. We're tackling a massive problem by automating payroll verification and making salary expertise accessible to everyone.
We're looking for a passionate Legal & Economics Intern to help bridge the gap between complex Danish labor law and our AI verification platform. You'll be working at the intersection of law, economics, and technology — helping us understand, categorize, and digitize the intricate world of Danish overenskomster and payroll calculations. We don't expect you to know everything on day one; a strong willingness to learn and grow is what matters most.
Analyzing and categorizing Danish overenskomster (collective agreements) for AI training data
Validating payroll calculations and identifying common error patterns across different sectors
Researching labor law hierarchies and rule precedence (state vs. union vs. company level)
Helping design compliance frameworks for GDPR and financial data protection
Collaborating with our AI team to translate legal concepts into machine-readable formats
Testing and validating our Analysis Engine's legal reasoning and explanations
Supporting stakeholder communication with unions, healthcare organizations, and legal entities
Background or strong interest in labor law, employment law, or economics
Understanding of Danish work culture and potentially overenskomster (or eager to learn)
Experience with payroll systems, accounting, or financial analysis (bonus)
Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
Interest in legal tech or AI applications in legal/financial domains
Danish language skills (essential for reading overenskomster)
Take ownership of your work
Are eager to learn and grow
Are passionate about worker rights and fair compensation
Are comfortable working with both traditional legal documents and cutting-edge AI technology
Can translate complex legal concepts into clear, actionable insights
Be part of shaping PayTjek's product from early stage toward first launch
Work directly with real user feedback and real-world legal challenges
Flexible hours and remote work options
Opportunity for a full-time role after the internship
Unique experience bridging law, economics, and AI technology
You'll be joining us at an exciting stage, helping transform PayTjek from early concept into a product people love. We are pre-MVP and moving quickly toward our first release — there's plenty of room to strengthen our legal foundation: building our overenskomst knowledge base, ensuring compliance frameworks, and validating AI reasoning against real legal requirements.
We keep things relaxed and collaborative, celebrating small wins together at the end of the week. As we grow and reach more users, we aim to expand from a lean, part-time setup into a full-time team.
We value open communication and an active feedback culture, because learning and improving is part of our DNA. Along the way, you'll gain practical experience with legal tech, AI applications in law, and the impact of technology in ensuring worker rights.
