4 hrs confidence: 
day off in lieu (of compensation) Explanation: See the link for some English examples of the shortened "day off in lieu". For less than a day or generally, it will be "time off in lieu". The "of compensation" part is often omitted, but you might want to include it in a contract wording. Outside contract terminology, this is known in the U.S. almost universally as a "comp day", for "compensatory day off". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2011-11-30 11:46:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, I should wake up before I start typing! A "købt fridag" is what can trigger receiving a day off in lieu: "Arbejde på fridage (§ 9). Definition på ”Køb af fridag”: Arbejde på en dag, der ifølge arbejdspla- nen er en fridag." -- found at page 42 of http://www.mejerierne.dk/Files/Overenskomst 2011/Overenskoms...
