Warnings and dismissals

WARNING

If, as a business owner, you need to issue a warning to one of your employees, contact one of our specialised employment lawyers on +45 8618 1102.

A warning is an employment law sanction informing the employee that the employment relationship may be affected if a specified issue is not remedied. The consequences may include dismissal or summary dismissal.

It is essential that a warning is drafted with great precision so that the employee clearly understands what must be corrected and, most importantly, the consequences of failing to do so. As an employer, you should therefore take great care when wording a warning.

KROMANN Law Firm provides specialist legal advice in employment law. If you require clear and practical legal guidance when issuing a warning, please contact us on +45 8618 1102.

DISMISSAL

A dismissal brings the employment relationship to an end. Our experienced lawyers assist both employers wishing to dismiss an employee and employees who have been dismissed.

There are many legal rules to consider when dismissing an employee. If the dismissal is not carried out correctly, the employer may be required to pay compensation.

As a general rule, a dismissal must be objectively justified. It must also comply with the Danish Equal Treatment Act and the Danish Anti-Discrimination Act, as employees may not be dismissed on grounds such as gender, ethnicity, age, or other protected characteristics.

If you are unsure whether you are entitled to dismiss an employee or need assistance preparing a legally compliant notice of dismissal, please contact us on +45 8618 1102 or via the contact form. We also assist employees who have been dismissed and wish to determine whether they may be entitled to compensation.

SUMMARY DISMISSAL

If it becomes necessary to summarily dismiss an employee with immediate effect, it is essential that this is done in accordance with the law. The specialist lawyers at KROMANN Law Firm can assist you.

A summary dismissal terminates the employment relationship without notice. The employee must leave the workplace immediately and is no longer entitled to receive salary from the employer.

Summary dismissal requires a fundamental breach of the employment relationship, such as theft or unauthorised absence from work. In some cases, a prior warning is required before summary dismissal can be justified.

At KROMANN Law Firm, we provide specialist legal advice. Whether you need assistance with summarily dismissing an employee or you have yourself been summarily dismissed, you are welcome to contact us on +45 8618 1102.
