Termination and Grounds for Dismissal in Germany

 

According to German law, employment relationships can be terminated through mutual consent in the event a fixed-term contract expires or when a notice is served by either one of the two parties, i.e., the employer and employee. To act in the general protection of all employees, the employer has limited rights to dismiss the employee by the Dismissal Protection Act. The act is applicable if the company or business has more than ten employees and if the employee has worked at the establishment for at least six months without interruption.
