Document background
The Intent to Quit Letter is a crucial document in Danish employment relationships, required when an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment. Under Danish law, particularly the Funktionærloven, employees must provide proper written notice of resignation, making this document legally significant. The letter should comply with statutory notice periods, which typically range from one month for regular employees to up to three months for senior positions. The document serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the employee's intention to leave, establishes the notice period's commencement, and creates a written record of the resignation. It should include essential information such as the employee's details, position, intended last working day, and may also address practical matters such as handover plans or outstanding commitments.
