Document background
The Termination Letter Due To Downsizing is a critical document used when companies in Denmark need to reduce their workforce due to economic, organizational, or operational reasons. It must comply with Danish employment law, particularly the Funktionærloven and Masseafskedigelsesloven, which provide specific requirements for collective redundancies. The document serves as official written notification of employment termination, outlining the notice period, final salary calculations, benefit arrangements, and company property return procedures. It should be used when implementing organizational restructuring or workforce reduction, ensuring all legal obligations are met while maintaining professional communication. The letter must be carefully drafted to include all mandatory elements required by Danish law, including proper notice periods based on length of service and any applicable collective agreement provisions.
