The German law provides a high level of social protection for unlawful dismissal.
However, usually your rights have to be claimed within a short time limit.
If you have received a Notice of Termination (Letter of Dismissal, Kündigung) you should call for the advice of a qualified lawyer as soon as possible.
Almost all complaints for unlawfull/wrongfull dismissal (Kündigungschutzklage) must be filled to the Labour Court within three weeks.
This time limit starts on the day after the day on which you have received the termination letter.
Example:
An Employee who is working in Frankfurt receives the letter of termination on Monday, March 2nd.
This is the notice day. The time limit (3 weeks) ends on Monday, March 23rd, at 24.00 hrs.
If this period fails the dismissal (Kündigung) becomes legally effective (unless it can be proven that
plaintiff was not able
to respond in time for reasons which are easy to comprehend).
Even if you do not want to bring an action to court you should ask for the advice of a qualified
lawyer immediately:
Once the 3-weeks-time limit is over even "friendly" negotiations or bargaining
with your employer will probably be in vain.
Closely related to the termination of your employment contract
are questions like:
Even if you do not accept the dismissal you should register as seeking employment (Arbeitssuchend-Meldung) within three working days after receiving the letter of dismissal (or, if the termination period is more than three months, at least three months before the end of termination period) at the Bundesarbeitsagentur.
Please note that there can be a period of exclusion from benefits
of one week if you do not – as explained above – register
as seeking employment with an Employment Agency.
