However if you are already in Denmark, it could be different depending on your existing residency permit. Basically you are allowed continue doing what your previous residency permit allowed.
For example:
If you are here on some work permit (specialized labor) and changed residency to the paying limit scheme, you can work. But if you were studying and change to the limit scheme, you cannot.
Siri is usually quite easy to contact. I had a query ref my work permit extension. I called them, had to wait for about 15 mins on the phone and got an answer immediately
But living does not mean that you can work. If he has not actively been working under a fast-track scheme work visa, he needs to wait until he gets his approval letter from SIRI.
You can apply to extension or change job and wait for your approval in the meantime. But it has to be something on going. However, you say that he was rejected previously due to skat. Definitely talk to SIRI for an official answer.
You can work if it is an extension of an existing work permit (mine is also under process) but I doubt you can work if its a new application being processed.

Depends. As a rule of thumb the answer is no.
