Employment Contract – Regulation of Rights and Obligations
Knowledgeable attorneys in Berlin advise on creating a legally sound employment contract
An employment contract sets out the rights and duties of employers and employees. Although there is generally freedom of contract, the written form is advisable because the Verification Act (NachwG) requires the written fixation of essential contractual components. The employer must provide the employee with the principal contractual conditions in writing no later than one month after the start of employment and sign the contract.
The components to be fixed in writing according to § 2 NachwG include, among others:
- Name and address of the contracting parties
- Start of the employment relationship and, in the case of fixed-term contracts, also the duration
- Place of deployment or indication of variable places
- Brief description of the activity
- Composition and level of remuneration
- Working times and break regulations
- Holiday entitlement
- Termination modalities
Further agreements can also be recorded in writing. For fixed-term employment contracts, the written form is mandatory. Our attorneys in Berlin assist our clients with their expertise in labor law to ensure a legally impeccable employment contract.

Warning in labor law – Note on behavior change
A warning often precedes a termination
The warning signals to the employee to reconsider their behavior and fulfill contractual obligations to avoid dismissal. Often, a warning is necessary to later issue an effective termination. However, in some cases, a prior warning can be omitted. In cases of uncertainty, consulting one of our Berlin-based lawyers specializing in labor law is advisable.
Termination of employment
Lawyers in Berlin advise on ordinary and extraordinary termination in labor law
Both employers and employees in Berlin have the option to terminate an employment relationship, but these terminations are subject to specific legal regulations. Labor law distinguishes between ordinary and extraordinary termination. With ordinary termination, employers and employees in Berlin must comply with contractually agreed or legally prescribed notice periods. On the other hand, extraordinary termination allows for immediate termination of the employment relationship in Berlin, provided there is a serious reason making it unreasonable to continue the relationship. It is particularly important for employers in Berlin to ensure the termination meets legal requirements to avoid the risk of legal disputes before the labor court in Berlin. Employees should always check the lawfulness of a dismissal in Berlin to determine the possibility of contesting it. Detailed advice from specialized labor law experts in Berlin can provide clarity and protect the respective interests. In all cases, a thorough understanding of labor law provisions in Berlin is essential to act legally sound and achieve the best possible outcomes for both employers and employees.

Termination agreement and severance pay in labor law
Negotiating skills are crucial
The termination agreement offers an alternative to dismissal, especially when the employment relationship needs to end quickly without observing notice periods. The employee’s consent is required. Often, a severance is offered in return, although there is no legal entitlement to it. The amount of the severance depends on the negotiations. The experience of our lawyers in Berlin can be advantageous here.
