Document background
The Yearly Performance Review document is a critical tool in Danish employment relationships, used to formally document the annual assessment of employee performance, development, and goal achievement. It is designed to comply with Danish employment law, including the Employment Contracts Act (Ansættelsesbevisloven) and Data Protection Act (Databeskyttelsesloven). The document should be used annually for all permanent employees, typically around the same time each year or on the anniversary of employment. It captures essential information about performance metrics, competency assessments, development needs, and future objectives, while providing space for both employer and employee input. The document serves multiple purposes: as a legal record of performance discussions, a tool for career development, and a basis for potential employment decisions regarding promotion, compensation, or performance improvement needs.
