Document background
The Reference Letter For Employment is a crucial document in Danish employment practice, required under the Danish Act on Reference Letters (Lov om arbejdsgiverens pligt til at udstede fratrædelsesbevis). It is typically issued when an employee leaves a company or requests a reference for future employment opportunities. The document serves as an official testimony of the employment relationship, providing potential future employers with verified information about the candidate's work history, responsibilities, and performance. Under Danish law, employers are obligated to provide reference letters upon request, and these must be factual, objective, and compliant with data protection regulations. The content should be constructive and avoid any discriminatory elements while providing an accurate representation of the employment period.
