Legally sound terminations under German law

A well phrased termination letter is an important part of a legally secure termination under German law.

However, it mustn't be overlooked that employees in Germany are comprehensively protected from unjustified terminations and that additional, important legal requirements have to be met for a termination to be lawful.

The provisions of the Dismissal Against Protection Act, where applicable, as well as Special Protection against Dismissal must be respected by employers. Invalid terminations open employers up to the risk of costly lawsuits!
