Can you quit any job immediately?

Don't call me an asshole or anything, but in my current situation, I want to start studying in October and need to bridge the gap until then. So, I need to find work for a few months in the meantime. If, for example, I find a job with a one-year contract, I obviously won't tell them I plan to study. I'd want to work there for a few months and then quit straight away. Is that okay? Because I don't want to sit around at home all the time. Thanks for your answers!

The contract has a deadline to which you can always terminate, even if the contract runs for one year. It’s usually 4 weeks. That should be reasonable.

In the case of fixed-term contracts, however, only if a contractually exclusive possibility was also agreed for proper execution. Otherwise not.

If you have a temporary contract for 1 year, you can only cancel it in time if a regular termination is contractually regulated.

If you want to quit.

If a termination is possible at all with a temporary contract, you are bound to the time limits there.

No, it’s not okay. After all, they expect you for at least a year. But you could negotiate to keep the job as a fixed side job in parttime, to finance your studies.

It depends on the termination periods. Have you found anything or is your question hypothetical?

There are always jobs that can be done in a way of representation. But if you get in with this attitude, you better find a voluntary activity or make a language course at that time. Inaccuracy towards the employer is very bad. You’re shoving your own grave.

No, you can just be honest: you don’t just want to sit around, you want to bridge the time until you start studying with work. There’s nothing wrong with that. On the contrary. You leave a much better impression than to quit halfway and out of the blue. They’d think you’re unreliable and that’s what you’re saying.

So you can’t be punished for the early termination. But it could be interpreted as inaccuracy, because you’re hiding an important info from your employer that has implications for his planning. Depending on the situation, this is then negatively reflected in your work certificate. Well, I’d play with open cards at your place if it’s time and it’s coming to the interview.

I do not tell them that my plan is to study.

Why not? Can and should be said.

I would then want to work there for a few months and then cancel directly. Is that okay?

Why wouldn’t it be okay?

Where the hell is the problem of playing with open cards?

There are thousands of support jobs, all of which only exercise in a limited time.

Depends on the industry. Full-time is normal at the conveyor belt, fluctuation is also normal.
