You will walk away with
What happens to my vacation days? How mid-year job changes impact your Urlaubsanspruch and pro-rata calculations.
Can I get fired for being sick? Understanding krankheitsbedingte Kündigung and your protections.
Can my company cancel my remote work setup? The legal limits of your employer’s right to direct (Weisungsrecht).
What are my rights if I’m dismissed? Essential timelines (Kündigungsfristen) and protections under German law (Kündigungsschutzgesetz).
Should I sign a termination agreement (Aufhebungsvertrag)? What to look out for so you don't accidentally block your Jobcenter or Agentur für Arbeit benefits.
Not having legal insurance does not leave you without rights. You’ll leave with the knowledge to protect yourself, a clear understanding of severance, real stories, and a concrete first step, whatever comes next.
