No matter how an employment relationship is terminated, workplace representatives must ensure, in all cases, that the procedure has been followed correctly. In most cases, there are no real codetermination rights when an employment relationship is terminated – yet, if need be, the employees concerned must be shown individual legal options for response. This training course explains how this can work and provides basic knowledge of labour court proceedings. The course can potentially be rounded out with the practical experience of attending a labour court hearing.

Due to the large number of collective agreements, entitlements under collective agreements can only be explained in this course through examples. This also applies to existing company regulations.
