Labor Court

The Labor Court is a specialized court that deals with disputes between employees and employers. For instance, an employee might file a lawsuit against a dismissal. The court determines whether the dismissal was lawful.

For residents of Germany or Austria, it is crucial to know that deadlines for filing lawsuits are often very short, usually three weeks after receiving the dismissal notice (§ 4 KSchG). Common mistakes include filing the lawsuit too late or not providing enough evidence. It is advisable to seek legal advice promptly.
