Document background
The Offer Letter is a crucial employment document used in Danish employment relationships to formally present employment terms to prospective employees. It serves as the initial step in establishing a formal employment relationship and must comply with Danish employment legislation, particularly the Danish Act on Employment Contracts. The document is typically issued after successful completion of the recruitment process and before the commencement of employment. It should contain all essential employment terms required by Danish law, including position details, compensation, working hours, holiday entitlement, notice periods, and any special conditions. The offer letter, once accepted, becomes a legally binding document that forms the foundation of the employment relationship. It's particularly important in Denmark as it fulfills the legal requirement to provide written employment terms to employees and must be provided within one month of the employment start date.
