Document background
The Work Experience Letter is a vital document in the Danish employment landscape, typically issued upon the conclusion of employment or at the employee's request. It serves multiple purposes, including verification of employment history for future employers, documentation for visa applications, and professional portfolio development. Under Danish law, employees have a right to request such documentation of their employment, and employers must provide accurate and fair representations of the employment period and responsibilities. The letter must comply with both Danish employment legislation and GDPR requirements regarding personal data handling. It typically includes verified information about the employment duration, positions held, key responsibilities, and may include performance observations when appropriate. This document is particularly important in the Danish job market, where formal documentation of work history is highly valued and often required for new employment opportunities.
