Document background
The Job Appointment Letter is a fundamental document in Danish employment relationships, required by law to formalize the employment arrangement between employer and employee. It must be issued in compliance with the Danish Act on Statement of Employment Conditions and other relevant employment legislation. This document serves multiple purposes: it confirms the employment relationship, sets out the terms and conditions of employment, ensures legal compliance, and provides clarity for both parties regarding their rights and obligations. The Job Appointment Letter must be provided to the employee within one month of starting employment and should include all mandatory information required by Danish law, such as workplace location, job role, compensation, working hours, and notice periods. It may also incorporate additional terms specific to the role or industry, including references to applicable collective agreements.
