Document background
The Vacation Confirmation Letter is a standard employment document used across Danish workplaces to formally document and confirm approved employee vacation periods. This document is essential for compliance with the Danish Holiday Act (Ferieloven) and helps maintain clear records of vacation arrangements. It should be issued whenever an employee's vacation request is approved, typically covering details such as specific vacation dates, number of days taken, remaining balance, and return date. The letter serves multiple purposes: it provides written confirmation to the employee, ensures proper vacation tracking for HR purposes, and maintains documentation for legal compliance. While not explicitly required by law, the Vacation Confirmation Letter has become standard practice in Danish employment relationships as part of good HR management and clear communication between employers and employees.
