Document background
The Exit Letter From Employee To Employer is a crucial document in Danish employment relationships, required when an employee decides to terminate their employment contract. This formal written notice must comply with Danish employment law, particularly the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven), which stipulates specific notice periods based on length of employment. The letter serves multiple purposes: it officially documents the employee's intention to resign, confirms the notice period and last working day, demonstrates professional courtesy, and initiates the formal process of employment termination. Used across all sectors and organizational levels in Denmark, the document should reflect the country's employment practices while maintaining professional standards and ensuring legal compliance. The content and detail level may vary depending on the employee's position, responsibilities, and relationship with the employer, but must always include core elements required by Danish law.
