He is obligated to show up but in practice if he didn't want to work they couldn't really do anything. He could just call in sick or work very slowly, what are they gonna do, fire him? If he still has the laptop it means there is trust on both sides. Otherwise they would have revoked all his accesses and just exempted him from working to protect the company from possible harm. At least that is how it works in Germany but should be basically the same in Danish law. Getting laid off is really not so bad. Firing people is expensive, as it should be.
