Document background
The Separation Letter is a crucial document used in Danish employment relationships to formally document the termination of employment. This document type is essential for ensuring compliance with Danish employment law, particularly the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven) and related employment regulations. The Separation Letter serves multiple purposes: it confirms the termination decision, specifies the notice period and last working day, outlines financial settlements including salary and holiday pay, addresses company property return, and documents any post-employment obligations. It's typically issued when employment is terminated either by the employer or through mutual agreement, and it helps protect both parties by clearly documenting the separation terms and ensuring all legal requirements are met.
