Document background
The Current Employment Letter is a fundamental document in Danish employment relations, required by law to be provided to all employees within their first month of employment. It serves as the primary document establishing the terms and conditions of employment, ensuring compliance with the Danish Statement of Employment Particulars Act and related employment legislation. This document is used when hiring new employees or updating terms for existing employees in Denmark, containing mandatory information about the employment relationship including position, salary, working hours, notice periods, and various other terms required by Danish law. The letter must be written in a way that clearly communicates all essential aspects of the employment relationship while ensuring compliance with Danish employment regulations, collective agreements (where applicable), and EU directives that have been incorporated into Danish law.
