Document background
The Exit Letter From Employer is a crucial document in Danish employment relationships, used when an employer terminates an employee's employment contract. It must comply with Danish employment law, particularly the Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven), and serves as formal documentation of the termination decision. This document is typically used in situations of redundancy, restructuring, or performance-based termination, providing essential information about notice periods, final payments, and transitional arrangements. The letter should be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with Danish legal requirements regarding notice periods, holiday pay calculations, and proper handling of outstanding obligations. It forms part of the official employment records and may be important for future reference, unemployment benefits, and legal compliance purposes.
