Document background
The At Will Employment Termination Notice, while termed as such, operates within the Danish legal framework where true "at-will" employment doesn't exist. This document is used when an employer needs to formally terminate an employment relationship in Denmark, ensuring compliance with Danish employment law requirements. It must be used in accordance with the Danish Salaried Employees Act and related legislation, which provide significant employee protections and specify mandatory notice periods based on length of service. The notice should be issued when employment termination has been decided, following proper internal procedures and consultations. It must include specific statutory information such as termination date, notice period, reason for termination (if applicable), and details about final payments and benefits. The document serves both as a legal requirement and a formal communication tool, ensuring clear documentation of the employment termination process.
