Notice of termination

The majority of HK members are covered by the Danish Salaried Employees Act's provisions on termination. But there is also a large group, such as people paid by the hour, who follow the collective agreement's rules on termination.

To be covered by the notice periods laid down by the Danish Salaried Employees Act, you must comply with a number of requirements:
  • You must be engaged in office work, purchase and sale, certain forms of warehouse work, or as a technical assistant or assistant at a clinic, such as laboratory technician and dental assistant.
  • You must perform work under your employer's instructions.
  • You must also work for more than 8 hours a week on average.

If you do not comply with the requirements of the Danish Salaried Employees Act, it is typically:
  • because your work in another area, such as graphic design
  • because you are a temp hired by a temporary staffing agency
  • because only a small portion of your work is covered by the Danish Salaried Employees Act

Irrespective of your employment status, the notice of termination must be included in your employment certificate.
