Document background
The Work Reference Letter is a crucial document in Danish employment practice, serving as an official record of employment and professional assessment. It is typically issued when an employee leaves a company, whether through resignation, retirement, or end of contract. Under Danish law, employees have a right to receive this document, and employers are obligated to provide an accurate and fair assessment. The letter must comply with Danish employment regulations and GDPR requirements, containing factual information about the employment period, positions held, and primary responsibilities. It may also include an evaluation of the employee's performance, skills, and professional conduct. The document plays a significant role in future employment opportunities and serves as a verified record of professional experience in the Danish job market.
