Document background
The Individual Employment Agreement serves as the foundational document establishing the employment relationship between companies and individual employees in Denmark. This agreement is essential for compliance with Danish employment law, which requires employers to provide written documentation of key employment terms and conditions. It is typically used when hiring new employees or formalizing existing employment relationships, and must align with various Danish regulations including the Contracts Act, Holiday Act, and Working Environment Act. The document needs to be provided to employees within one month of starting employment and should be updated if significant terms change. For positions covered by collective agreements, this Individual Employment Agreement must also reference and align with the applicable collective agreement terms.
