Document background
The Departure Letter is a crucial document in Danish employment practice, used when an employment relationship is being terminated, whether through mutual agreement, resignation, or dismissal. This document serves as an official record of the termination arrangements and ensures compliance with Danish employment law, particularly the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven). The letter typically includes essential information about notice periods, final salary calculations, holiday pay, benefit treatments, and any special arrangements agreed upon between the parties. A well-drafted Departure Letter is vital for avoiding potential disputes and ensuring a clear understanding of the separation terms while maintaining compliance with Danish employment regulations. It's particularly important given Denmark's comprehensive employee protection framework and the formal nature of employment termination procedures.
