Document background
The Job Contract Letter is a mandatory employment document under Danish law that establishes the formal employment relationship between an employer and employee. It must be provided to the employee within one month of starting employment, as required by the Danish Salaried Employees Act. The document includes essential employment terms such as salary, working hours, holiday entitlement, and notice periods, while ensuring compliance with Danish employment legislation. This contract type is used for both new hires and when documenting significant changes to existing employment terms. It serves as a crucial reference point throughout the employment relationship and helps ensure legal compliance while protecting both parties' interests.
