Document background
The Employee Letter of Employment is a fundamental document required under Danish law to formalize the employment relationship between an employer and employee. It must be provided to the employee within one month of starting employment, as mandated by the Danish Act on Employment Contracts. This document serves as the primary reference point for the employment relationship, incorporating mandatory provisions required by Danish labor law while also addressing company-specific terms and conditions. The letter is essential for ensuring legal compliance, protecting both parties' interests, and clearly communicating employment terms. It should be drafted in consideration of various Danish employment regulations, including the Holiday Act, Working Environment Act, and relevant collective agreements, while also accounting for GDPR requirements regarding personal data handling.
