FAQs

Q: Can a labour dispute affect my references or certificate?

Yes, you can. This is precisely why it is important to make clear agreements on this when terminating employment. In many cases, it can be stipulated that you receive a neutral or positive certificate.

Q: What if my employer pressures me to sign?

Pressure to sign quickly is common in labour disputes, but you are not obliged to agree immediately. You are entitled to reflection time and may always seek legal advice. Signing too quickly could affect your benefits or compensation. Have you already signed? If so, you have 14 days' reflection time from that point.

Q: Am I always entitled to compensation for dismissal due to an industrial dispute?

No, this is not automatically the case. When dismissed through the subdistrict court, you may be entitled to a transition allowance , unless there is serious culpability. In the case of dismissal by mutual agreement, it depends on what you and your employer agree on. The amount and conditions differ depending on the situation. Calculate your severance pay
