Explanation

In Germany, there are clear labour law rules to protect employees. When someone receives a notice of termination and has the impression that it is unjustified or illegal, the question often arises as to what legal steps are possible and sensible. Deadlines, competent bodies and suitable procedures are particularly important in order to protect one's own rights and to achieve possible continued employment or compensation.
