Document background
The Employment Termination Certificate is a mandatory document under Danish employment law that employers must provide upon an employee's request following the termination of employment. This certificate serves multiple purposes: it provides official documentation of employment history, assists in future job applications, and may be required for unemployment benefits or other administrative purposes. The document typically includes essential information such as employment duration, position held, and primary responsibilities. Under Danish legislation, particularly the Salaried Employees Act (¹ó³Ü²Ô°ì³Ù¾±´Ç²Ôæ°ùloven), the certificate must be factual and objective, avoiding any potentially prejudicial statements unless specifically requested by the employee. The Employment Termination Certificate has significant legal weight and must be carefully prepared to ensure compliance with Danish employment regulations while protecting both employer and employee interests.
