The deadline for bringing an action is usually only three weeks from receipt of the dismissal (§ 4 KSchG, German Dismissal Protection Act) — after that, the dismissal is usually deemed effective, even if it would not have been. Act quickly: I review the dismissal at short notice and show you your options.
Not without checking it. A termination agreement can make sense, but it often affects unemployment benefit and waives protection against dismissal. Have the terms — in particular the severance payment — checked before you sign.
A formal warning is often the first step towards a later dismissal. If it is unjustified or disproportionate, a written objection is usually worthwhile — I check whether this makes sense in your case.
Yes. From a legally sound dismissal to formal warnings and termination agreements, I also support employers — with an eye on dismissal protection and anti-discrimination law.
