Document background
The Addendum To Employment Contract is a critical document used when there's a need to modify existing employment terms without creating an entirely new employment agreement under Danish law. It's commonly used when implementing changes such as promotions, salary adjustments, role modifications, or working arrangement updates. The document must comply with Danish employment legislation, including the Danish Contracts Act (Aftaleloven) and the Danish Statement of Employment Particulars Act (Ansættelsesbevisloven). This addendum serves as a formal record of the agreed changes, protecting both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting modifications while preserving other terms of the original contract. It's particularly important in Denmark's highly regulated employment environment, where written documentation of employment terms is legally required.
