The Severance Pay Agreement is a crucial document used in Danish employment relationships when an employment relationship is terminated and severance compensation is to be paid. It serves as a legally binding contract that clearly defines the terms of the severance package, ensuring compliance with Danish employment law, particularly the Danish Salaried Employees Act (Funktion脙茠脗娄rloven). This document is typically used during voluntary departures, redundancies, or negotiated exits, providing both parties with clear understanding and legal certainty regarding the severance arrangement. The agreement includes detailed information about payment amounts, timing, tax treatment, benefit continuations, and any post-employment obligations, while ensuring all terms align with Danish legal requirements and market practices.
