Document background
The Letter of Suspension from Work is a crucial document in Danish employment practice used when an employer needs to temporarily remove an employee from their workplace duties while maintaining the employment relationship. This typically occurs during investigations of potential misconduct, serious performance issues, or when operational circumstances require temporary removal from duties. The document must comply with Danish employment law, including the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven) and relevant collective agreements. It should clearly state the suspension terms, including duration, pay status, and employee obligations during the suspension period. The letter serves as both a legal record and a communication tool, protecting both employer and employee rights while ensuring procedural fairness under Danish law.
