Document background
The Termination Letter is a crucial document in Danish employment law, used to formally communicate the end of an employment relationship. It must be prepared in accordance with Danish legislation, particularly the Funktionærloven for salaried employees, and any applicable collective agreements. The document serves multiple purposes: it officially notifies the employee of their termination, specifies the notice period and final working day, details any financial settlements including salary and holiday pay, and outlines both parties' obligations during the notice period. A properly drafted Termination Letter is essential for legal compliance and risk management, as it helps prevent future disputes and ensures all statutory requirements are met. The document should be clear, comprehensive, and maintain a professional tone while including all legally required information under Danish law.
