Kündigungsschutzklage

A Kündigungsschutzklage is a legal action employees can take if they believe their termination was unjustified. For instance, if someone is dismissed after many years of service without a valid reason, they can file a Kündigungsschutzklage.

For residents in Germany or Austria, it’s crucial to observe the deadlines for filing a Kündigungsschutzklage, which is usually three weeks from receiving the termination notice (§ 4 KSchG). A common mistake is failing to file the claim on time or not adequately documenting the reasons for the claim.
