Document background
The Certificate of Service From Employer (Arbejdsgiverbevis) is a mandatory document under Danish employment law that employers must provide upon the conclusion of an employment relationship. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides official verification of employment for future employers, helps employees document their work history for various purposes including job applications and social benefits, and ensures compliance with Danish employment documentation requirements. The certificate typically includes essential information such as employment duration, position held, and primary responsibilities. It may also include optional elements such as performance assessments or specific achievements when mutually agreed upon. The document must be issued in accordance with Danish legislation, particularly the Danish Act on Employment Certificates, and must respect data protection requirements under GDPR and Danish law.
