Onboarding documentation

The documents a new employee must receive and sign when starting a job. The most important is the employment contract: under the Danish Employment Certificate Act of 2023, the essential terms must be provided in writing no later than 7 calendar days after the first working day, and the rest within a month. Typically added are a confidentiality declaration, IT and data protection policy, equipment handover, acknowledgement of the employee handbook and the GDPR privacy notice on processing of employee data. Digital signing with an audit trail makes it easy to prove that everything was delivered and accepted on time.
