Document background
The Employment Appointment Letter is a fundamental document in Danish employment relationships, required by law to be provided to employees within their first month of employment. This document serves as both a legal requirement under the Danish Act on Statement of Employment Terms and a practical tool for establishing clear employment terms. The letter must include specific mandatory information such as the identity of the parties, workplace location, job description, start date, holiday entitlement, notice periods, and compensation details. The Employment Appointment Letter is particularly important in Denmark as it interacts with both statutory requirements and any applicable collective agreements. It serves as the primary reference point for the employment relationship and helps ensure transparency and clarity between the employer and employee regarding their respective rights and obligations.
