Letting employees go in Germany can be a complex process. Beyond managing the operational handover, terminating an employment relationship often involves bureaucratic and legal challenges that employers need to navigate carefully.

From preparing the required exit documents and handling unused vacation days to collecting company property, every step of the offboarding process should be thoroughly planned.
Additionally, if an employer initiates the termination, employees may file an unfair dismissal claim with the competent labor court, adding further legal complexity.

In this webinar, we will walk you through the 10 most common pitfalls employers face when offboarding employees in Germany – and, most importantly, how to avoid them.

Join us to learn how to ensure a smooth and legally secure offboarding process.
