Employment contracts
Employment contracts lay down the rules governing the relationship between (an) employer and (an) employee, and it is therefore important to draft them with care.
In principle the employer and the employee are free to agree the terms of employment. In practice, however, the contractual freedom is very much restricted by statutes and, if applicable, collective arrangements (collective agreements, local agreements, etc.).
According to the Danish Act on Statements of Employment Particulars, every employee must be notified in writing of all material employment terms.
Case law in relation to the Act is constantly developing, and according to the latest case law there are high requirements to the employer's drafting of the employment contract and any other document containing material employment terms.
We assists employers in:
- preparing employment contracts – standard or individual - for all employee groups
- reviewing and, if necessary, amending existing employment contracts to comply with current legislation
- their endeavours to optimise the terms of their employment contracts.
