Document background
The Letter of Employment is a mandatory document under Danish law that must be provided to employees within the first month of their employment. This document serves as the foundational agreement between employer and employee, outlining all essential aspects of the employment relationship as required by Danish legislation. The Letter of Employment must comply with the Danish Act on Employers' and Salaried Employees' Legal Relationship and other relevant employment laws, including provisions for working hours, holidays, notice periods, and benefits. It's particularly important as it provides legal protection for both parties and ensures transparency in employment terms. The document may need to be adapted based on whether the position falls under a collective agreement, the seniority level of the role, and any special terms such as flexible working arrangements or additional benefits.
