The Disciplinary Action Letter is a crucial document in Danish employment relations, used when formal documentation of employee misconduct, performance issues, or policy violations is necessary. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the specific incident or behavior, ensuring compliance with Danish employment law and company policies, establishing clear expectations for improvement, and protecting both employer and employee rights. The letter should be used after verbal warnings or informal discussions have proven ineffective, or when the severity of the issue requires immediate formal action. The document must align with Danish employment legislation, including the Employment Contracts Act and Equal Treatment Act, while also considering any applicable collective agreements. It typically follows a standardized format to ensure consistency and legal compliance, including specific details about the incident, reference to violated policies, improvement requirements, and potential consequences.
