Document background
The Employee Relieving Letter is a crucial document in Danish employment practice that serves multiple purposes in the employment termination process. It is typically issued when an employee leaves an organization, whether through resignation, mutual agreement, or other forms of separation. The document complies with Danish employment law requirements and includes essential information such as employment duration, position details, and confirmation of clearance of company properties and obligations. While not explicitly required by Danish law, the Employee Relieving Letter has become standard practice as it provides important documentation for both employers and employees, particularly useful for future employment verification. The document should align with requirements under the Danish Salaried Employees Act and other relevant employment legislation, while also considering data protection requirements under the Danish Data Protection Act.
