Document background
The End of Service Letter is a mandatory document under Danish employment law that must be provided when an employment relationship concludes. This document serves multiple crucial purposes: it officially confirms the termination of employment, provides required information about final settlements and entitlements, and serves as an official employment reference. The letter must comply with Danish legal requirements, including the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven) and relevant data protection regulations. It's utilized in various termination scenarios including resignation, dismissal, or mutual agreement, and provides important documentation for both the employer's records and the employee's future employment or social security needs. The content typically includes employment duration, final position, reason for termination, and settlement details, with optional sections that can be added based on specific circumstances or employee requests.
