The Notice of Layoff is a crucial document in Danish employment law, used when an employer needs to terminate employment for business-related reasons rather than performance or conduct issues. It must be drafted in accordance with the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven) and any applicable collective agreements, ensuring proper notice periods are observed and all legally required information is included. The document serves multiple purposes: it officially communicates the termination decision, outlines the notice period and final working day, details any financial settlements including salary and vacation pay, and provides information about the return of company property and other practical matters. In cases of mass layoffs, additional requirements under the Collective Redundancies Act must be incorporated. The notice should be clear, comprehensive, and compliant with all relevant legal requirements to protect both employer and employee interests.
