Requirements for Your Employment Contract for a Work Permit
11. februar 2025
If you want to work in Denmark, your employment contract must meet specific requirements to be approved by the Danish Agency for International Recruitment and Integration (SIRI). The purpose is to ensure that your salary and employment conditions comply with Danish standards.
Employment Contract Requirements
Your employment contract or job offer must include at least the following details:
- Employer (name, address, and CVR number)
- Employee (your full name)
- Workplace (company name and address)
- Employment start date (when you will begin working)
- End date of employment (if the contract is temporary)
- Title and position (your job role and title)
- Tasks and responsibilities (a description of your duties)
- Working hours (weekly working hours)
- Salary (your salary and any supplements)
- Conditions regarding:
- Overtime (extent and compensation)
- Vacation (rights and leave policy)
- Termination (notice period and conditions)
It is also important that the employment contract is dated and signed by both you and your employer.
Special Considerations for Salary in Foreign Currency
If your salary is stated in a foreign currency, a supplement must be attached that converts the salary into Danish kroner (DKK).
