Document background
The Written Warning Letter is a crucial human resources document used in Danish workplace settings when formal documentation of employee performance issues or conduct violations is necessary. This document is typically issued after verbal warnings have proven ineffective or when the severity of the situation warrants immediate written documentation. The letter must comply with Danish employment legislation, including the Danish Salaried Employees Act and relevant data protection regulations. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the specific issues, setting clear expectations for improvement, outlining consequences of continued non-compliance, and protecting both employer and employee interests through proper documentation. Written Warning Letters are particularly important in Danish employment relationships as they may be required to support potential future disciplinary actions or termination decisions.
