Document background
The Employee Shift Change Request Letter is a standardized document used in Danish workplaces when an employee needs to formally request a modification to their existing work schedule. This document is essential in organizations operating with shift work systems and must comply with Danish employment legislation, including the Working Environment Act and relevant collective agreements. It should be used when an employee needs to change their regular shift pattern, whether for personal circumstances, health reasons, professional development, or other valid grounds. The letter typically includes current and proposed schedule details, reasoning for the change, impact assessment, and necessary approvals. This formal approach ensures proper documentation, helps maintain organizational efficiency, and protects both employer and employee rights under Danish law.
