Basic Employment Agreement

I need a Basic Employment Agreement for a software developer position at our Copenhagen-based tech startup, including remote work provisions and stock option clauses, with the employment starting March 1, 2025.

Document background
The Basic Employment Agreement is designed for use in the Danish employment market, where written employment contracts are mandatory under the Danish Statement of Employment Particulars Act. This document should be used when establishing new employment relationships or formalizing existing ones within Denmark. It contains all legally required elements under Danish law, including detailed employment terms, conditions, and obligations of both parties. The agreement is structured to comply with Danish employment legislation while remaining flexible enough to accommodate various industry requirements and role specifications. It serves as a fundamental legal document that protects both employer and employee interests while ensuring transparency in the employment relationship. The agreement is particularly relevant in context of Denmark's unique employment law framework, which combines statutory requirements with collective agreement principles.
