Preface

Among EU Member States and in other international contexts, there is considerable interest in sharing experience and mutual inspiration regarding personnel matters and public administration.

The State Employer's Authority often contributes information on personnel-related issues in Danish central government in connection with meetings, conferences and seminars held under international auspices. Furthermore, the State Employer's Authority provides written responses to questionnaire surveys and other inquiries from foreign cooperation partners and international organisations.

For this purpose, the State Employer's Authority has issued the present publication, which sets out general employment conditions as well as more specific rules of employment law in central government.

The publication is available in English and Danish, and is accessible on the website of the State Employer's Authority www.perst.dk.
