Catalogue question 138 · Question catalogue in force since 2024-07-01
What can I do in Germany if my employer has dismissed me unjustly?
- keep working and be friendly to the boss
- initiate a default summons procedure against the employer
- file an unfair dismissal claim Correct
- report the employer to the police
Why — for every option
- A — Being friendly does not change the legal situation and does not protect against an invalid dismissal.
- B — A default summons procedure serves to enforce monetary claims, not to contest a dismissal.
- C — Correct: an unfair dismissal claim can be filed with the labour court within three weeks against a (allegedly) invalid dismissal (§ 4 Dismissal Protection Act).
- D — An unjustified dismissal is a matter of employment law, not criminal law; the police have no jurisdiction over it.
