Document background
The Salesman Contract of Employment is a specialized employment agreement used when hiring sales professionals in Denmark. It should be used whenever engaging employees whose primary function involves sales activities, whether in a field sales, inside sales, or business development capacity. The contract combines mandatory elements required under Danish employment law with sales-specific provisions such as commission structures, sales territories, and performance targets. It ensures compliance with various Danish regulations including the Salaried Employees Act, Commission Act, and data protection requirements, while protecting both employer and employee interests. This document is particularly important as it clearly defines the unique aspects of sales roles, including variable compensation, client relationship management, and potential post-employment restrictions. The contract should be reviewed and updated regularly to ensure continued compliance with evolving Danish employment legislation and market practices.
