Document background
A Warning Letter To Employee is a crucial human resource management tool used in Danish workplace settings when formal documentation of employee misconduct, performance issues, or policy violations is necessary. This document serves as an important step in the progressive discipline process under Danish employment law, particularly in accordance with the Funktionærloven and related employment regulations. It is typically issued after verbal warnings have proven ineffective or when the severity of the situation requires immediate formal documentation. The letter must be clear, factual, and compliant with Danish legal requirements, including proper documentation of specific incidents, expected improvements, and reasonable timelines for correction. It forms part of the employee's personnel file and may be referenced in future employment decisions or legal proceedings if necessary. The document should maintain a constructive tone while clearly communicating the seriousness of the situation and potential consequences of non-improvement.
