Is the following termination legally effective?

Hello dear readers,

I have a legal question regarding the termination below, with a brief summary of the facts.

Termination of employment

Dear…

We hereby terminate the employment relationship with you with due notice as of

February 28, 2025

caringly at the earliest possible date.

We hereby release you from work immediately and irrevocably.

Any existing overtime or vacation days will be offset against the time off.

The termination is purely for operational reasons.

-> This is a small business whose business is not in dire straits.

-> The terminated position must actually be filled urgently

-> AN was sick throughout January.

-> Last day of illness 01/23/25 / Written notice 01/24/25 via registered mail.

Is this termination legal?

I would be very grateful for any helpful answers.

As a low-swelling point of contact from the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, there is the public telephone on the subject of labor law 🙂 030 221 911 004

The company attorney is the best contact person.

The company attorney? Surely not!

I advise you to let a specialist lawyer for labor law advise you on how to proceed.

Is this termination right?

In principle, unless there are any other termination periods, the termination would not be contested.

Civil Code (BGB)

§ 622 Deadline for termination of employment

(1) The employment relationship of a worker or an employee (worker) with a period of four weeks to the fifth or to the end of a calendar month.

Other information is missing:

  • since when is the employment relationship?
  • How many workers are employed in the company?
  • are there contractually different notice periods?

There is no termination protection. The termination would have without justification can take place.

You could – probably without success – complain to the labor court.

Since January 1, 2004, the Dismissal Protection Act (KschG) has only been applicable to companies which: more than 10 employees regularly (previously, all enterprises employing more than 5 workers were employed).

I have a right-wing question

You're wrong in a public forum. No legal advice may be provided here. The statements therefore always have the status of expressing opinion without claiming legal validity.
A valid statement can and can only be given to you by a lawyer.
