The Letter of Dismissal For Poor Performance is a crucial document in Danish employment relations, used when an employer needs to terminate an employee's contract due to documented performance issues. It must be drafted in accordance with Danish employment law, particularly the Funktionærloven and related legislation, which provides significant employee protections and requires clear documentation of performance issues. The letter should only be used after proper performance management procedures have been followed, including formal warnings and opportunities for improvement. It must contain specific references to performance issues, previous warnings, notice periods, and final settlement details. This document is particularly important as Danish law requires employers to have valid and well-documented reasons for termination, with poor performance being one such reason when properly evidenced.
