Notice of Termination

Definition

The unilateral declaration by an employer or employee to terminate the employment relationship after a specified period or at a specified time.

Detailed Explanation

Termination is subject to strict legal requirements. The employer must comply with statutory or contractual notice periods for ordinary terminations. Employees enjoy protection against dismissal under the KSchG after six months of employment in businesses with more than ten employees. Extraordinary termination is only possible for good cause.
