Document background
The Severance Notice is a crucial document in Danish employment law, used when an employer terminates an employment relationship. It must be drafted in compliance with the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven) and other relevant employment legislation. This document is required whenever an employer terminates an employee's contract, whether for performance, redundancy, or other legitimate business reasons. The notice must include specific information such as the termination date, notice period, final settlement details, and any applicable severance payments. It serves as official documentation of the termination and outlines both parties' rights and obligations during the notice period. The document's format and content must reflect Danish legal requirements, including statutory notice periods based on length of service and proper calculation of final payments including holiday pay.
