| May 12, 2021 at 14:07 | comment | added | Gray Sheep | As a beginner in Germany, your options for your next job are likely very limited, particularly if your German is bad. You also do not know the job market. You are not before hard months, you are before hellish years. It might last even 5-10 years long until you learn this world, and I am sure that you won't ever forget these years. | |
| May 12, 2021 at 14:06 | comment | added | Gray Sheep | Some things what are surprisingly lesser known in Germany: 1) if you are fired, start looking for you next job on that day 2) have always a legal insurance (rechteversicherung) 3) register at the BA as jobsucher yet on that day 4) if you are not fired, you can not get unemployment money for 3 months. You must be legally fired and after your notice period. That is right. | |

clarify employment period
|
| Dec 2, 2020 at 8:29 | comment | added | sleske | The fact that you have been working for the company for over one year is important. I added it to your question. | |

I requested my Employer stating this problem and he said that I should return to my country instead of taking this benefit from Germany. if you have this in written (or have any witnesses to this being said to you) I would suggest reporting this behavior to HR and Arbeitsamt. This is completely inappropriate and demeaning and shouldn't be tolerated.

| Nov 26, 2020 at 14:05 | comment | added | Eike Pierstorff | To reiterate, do no sign anything. Since they cannot simply fire you, they will probably try to convince you to sign an "Aufhebungsvertrag". Legally this means you agree to being terminated (thus making being jobless your own fault) and it will negatively affect you visa and your jobless benefits. Do not sign anything. If they do not want you to come to work anymore before your notice period is over, it is customary to send you home at full pay. | |
| Nov 26, 2020 at 13:25 | comment | added | Azhu | @TymoteuszPaul: I have been in this company for 1.3 years. | |
| Nov 26, 2020 at 13:25 | comment | added | Azhu | @TomTom: I have been working in the company for 1 year 3 months. The probationary period was over a long back and it was an open-ended contract. | |
| Nov 26, 2020 at 10:29 | comment | added | erc | Not sure about eligibility for unemployment benefits when you're not a permanent resident, but you should find out immediately and register at the Agentur für Arbeit. | |

| Nov 26, 2020 at 6:23 | comment | added | nvoigt♦ | "at the end of Oct 2020. The notice period was 3 months and thus my date of termination is 31.12.2020" This does not add up. With a three month notice period, notified in October would make your last day at some point in January, not December 31st. Maybe it was "6 weeks from the quarters end", which is also common? | |
| Nov 25, 2020 at 23:00 | comment | added | Chris | It's Germany, they can't do that and they know they can't do it. So they give you impossible tasks, start bad mouthing, etc Don't sign anything, go to work every day and take a lawyer if they try do stop you from fulfilling your side of the contract. | |
| Nov 25, 2020 at 22:41 | comment | added | TomTom | That is the main question. German Courts uphold termination periods quite vigorously - but if youa re still in the trial period, the termination period may be "next day" and this is legal.So, when did your contract start? What does the contract say for Trial Period (Probezeit) which normally is 3 to 6 months. | |
| Nov 25, 2020 at 20:53 | comment | added | Aida Paul | @Azhu how long have you been with the company? | |
| Nov 25, 2020 at 20:39 | comment | added | Azhu | @Tymoteusz Paul: Yes, I have a normal work visa in Germany | |
| Nov 25, 2020 at 20:38 | comment | added | Azhu | @sf02: Yes, I have started it. However, due to Corona Crisis recruitment are slow these days. Do you have any suggestions? | |
| Nov 25, 2020 at 20:25 | comment | added | sf02 | "My employer has given me a notice of termination at the end of Oct 2020" Have you been searching for new employment once you heard this news? | |
