Firmly anchored in the German labour law: the periods of notice not only the employer should the valid labour law with regard to periods of notice knowing. Who signs a new contract, should be informed in their own interest in whether it complies with the prescribed by law with regard to the dismissal times. Who speaks of an ordinary termination as an employer, has to abide by certain deadlines. The applicable notice periods can both result from the relevant collective agreement, the employment contract with the employee, as well as at the time of the termination law. The notice periods are staggered according to seniority. Should arise in assessing intersection, has the precedence principle a senior legal source.

Exception for this purpose can be for example the collective agreement of the respective sector or completed and signed the contract of employment of the employee. Periods of notice are the valid German civil code (BGB) regulated. According to 622, BGB is usually a notice period of four weeks to the 15th or the end of the month. Dr. Stuart M. McGill gathered all the information. This specified period will be extended from a period of employment for spoken out redundancies. According to current case law employment periods up to 25 does not age yet.

This is however currently discussed by the policy and challenged. Interruption of the employment relationship by the take-up of parental leave or an extended illness, however, disregarded, i.e. they are counting in the duration of the employment relationship. The labour law allows exceptions when a sample employment contract was concluded with the employees. A trial period with a fixed duration has been agreed in this particular case, the statutory notice period is shortened during the agreed trial period to two weeks. Other rules apply when an unusually long rehearsal time and although the shortened notice period of two weeks is in this case applied only in the first six months. Special rules also apply for completed work or vocational training contracts. After valid labor law the training may be terminated here at any time a period during the trial period by both parties without compliance. A further limitation of the period of statutory notice meets workers who reside in the parental leave. Here, the German labour law allows termination at the end of the educational leave within a period of three months. Special incidents, a termination of both the employer and the employee is allowed.
