Document background
An Appraisal Letter is a crucial human resources document used to formalize the outcome of employee performance reviews in accordance with Danish employment law. This document is typically issued following periodic (usually annual or semi-annual) performance evaluations or at significant career milestones. The letter serves multiple purposes: it documents the formal assessment of an employee's performance, sets expectations for future performance, outlines development opportunities, and may address compensation adjustments. The content must comply with Danish data protection regulations (Databeskyttelsesloven) and equal treatment laws (Ligebehandlingsloven), ensuring fair and unbiased evaluation. The Appraisal Letter becomes part of the employee's personnel file and can be referenced for future career decisions, making it a legally significant document in the Danish employment context.
