Areas of expertise

A person can be dismissed for very different reasons. A distinction is made between ordinary and extraordinary termination. Different requirements apply to their effectiveness. In some cases, company agreements and industry-specific collective agreements must be taken into account. It is therefore not surprising that a large number of dismissals are incorrect and violate applicable law. If the person concerned does not wish to accept the dismissal, they must take legal action against it within three weeks of receiving the letter of dismissal. Failure to meet this three-week deadline will result in the termination becoming effective – regardless of whether it is lawful or not.

Warning letters usually precede termination in terms of timing. A warning letter can be the first step towards termination. Once documented in the personnel file, the warning letter can have negative consequences in the future. You are likely to be excluded from promotions and denied salary increases. Therefore, it may make sense to pursue the withdrawal and removal of the warning letter through legal action.

Severance pay is often offered in connection with the waiver of an unfair dismissal claim or as part of a termination agreement. This is intended to avoid lengthy court proceedings and ensure early workforce planning certainty for the company. The amount of severance pay is negotiable, which is why consulting an employment lawyer can be worthwhile. Higher severance payments can often be achieved through legal action.
