Document background
The Written Termination Notice is a crucial document in Danish employment law, used when an employer needs to formally terminate an employment relationship. It must comply with Danish legislation, particularly the Salaried Employees Act (Funktionærloven) and the Act on the Legal Relationship between Employers and Employees (Ansættelsesbevisloven). The Written Termination Notice should be used whenever employment is terminated by the employer, regardless of the reason (except in cases of gross misconduct where summary dismissal applies). The document must include specific information about notice periods, final payments, and other statutory requirements, and should be delivered to the employee in writing to ensure legal compliance and maintain clear documentation of the termination process.
