Document background
The Hire Letter is a mandatory document under Danish employment law, specifically required by the Danish Statement of Employment Particulars Act (Ansættelsesbevisloven). It must be provided to employees within the first month of employment and serves as the primary document establishing the employment relationship. This document is essential for any new hire in Denmark, whether for permanent or fixed-term positions, and must include specific mandatory information such as working hours, salary, holiday entitlement, and notice periods. The hire letter needs to comply with various Danish employment regulations, including the Holiday Act, Working Environment Act, and any applicable collective agreements. It forms the foundation of the employment relationship and provides both parties with clear documentation of their rights and obligations.
