Document background
The Employment Termination Policy serves as a crucial governance document for organizations operating in Denmark, providing a structured framework for managing employment terminations in compliance with Danish employment law. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to establish consistent, fair, and legally compliant procedures for handling various types of employment terminations. It incorporates requirements from key Danish legislation, including the Salaried Employees Act, Equal Treatment Act, and collective agreements, while providing practical guidance for implementation. The policy ensures that termination procedures respect both statutory requirements and employee rights while protecting the organization's interests. It is particularly important given Denmark's specific requirements regarding notice periods, procedural fairness, and special protections for certain employee categories.
