Document background
The Retirement Letter To Employer is a crucial document in Danish employment relationships that formally initiates the retirement process. It is used when an employee has made the decision to retire and needs to communicate this officially to their employer. The letter must comply with Danish employment law, including the Funktionærloven and relevant collective agreements, and should provide adequate notice based on the employee's length of service and position. This document typically includes the intended retirement date, acknowledgment of notice period requirements, offers for knowledge transfer, and references to pension arrangements. It serves both as a legal notification and a professional courtesy, helping to ensure a well-managed transition process. The letter's content and complexity may vary depending on the employee's position, with senior roles potentially requiring more detailed transition planning and handover arrangements.
