If you employ a foreign skilled worker, the following apply with regard to Probationary period, termination and deadlines<\/strong> In principle, the same labor law provisions apply to foreign employees as to domestic employees. Here are the most important points for you as an employer:<\/p>\n

1. probationary period<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The trial period offers both sides the opportunity to get to know each other and to check whether the collaboration is a long-term fit.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Duration:<\/strong> As a rule, up to six months (\u00a7 622 BGB). Shorter periods are possible, longer periods only in exceptional cases.<\/li>\n
  • Notice period during the probationary period:<\/strong> Two weeks, without giving reasons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Tip: The probationary period should be expressly regulated in the employment contract - including the shortened notice period.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    2. termination after the probationary period<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    At the end of the probationary period, the regular notice periods pursuant to \u00a7 622 BGB apply:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • For the employee: 4 weeks to the 15th or the end of the month<\/li>\n
    • For the employer: deadlines are extended depending on the length of service (up to 7 months for over 20 years of service)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      Note: The following also apply to foreign skilled workers general rules on protection against dismissal<\/strong>if the Dismissal Protection Act (KSchG) is applicable (from 10 full-time employees and at least 6 months of employment).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      3. special information for foreign skilled workers<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Residence permit:<\/strong> The employment contract and employment ends automatically if the legal basis for employment (e.g. residence permit) ceases to exist - this may be the case, for example, if a visa is refused. A corresponding note should therefore be included in the contract.<\/li>\n
      • Protection against dismissal during the recognition phase:<\/strong> If the specialist is still in the process of having their qualification recognized, the regular employment law provisions also apply - there is no \"special regulation\".<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        German employment law applies to foreign employees No special termination rights or deviating deadlines<\/strong> - the protection is identical to that for domestic employees. This makes it all the more important clearly formulated employment contract<\/strong>which clearly regulates both the probationary period and the termination modalities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
