Termination during the probation period
August 24, 2009 | 20,00 EUR | answered by Andreas Scholz
I have signed an employment contract starting on 01.10.09. A notice period of 14 days during the probationary period is agreed upon in the contract. Can I personally hand in my resignation on 1.10. (first day of work) with a signature for 15.10.09, in order to start a new job with another employer on 16.10.09? Thank you in advance for your competent answer and kind regards.
Dear questioner,
Dear questioner,
As you describe the situation, you can indeed terminate the contract at the specified time and start the new employment relationship at the specified time. The regulation you mentioned corresponds to the regulation provided for in § 622 (3) of the German Civil Code for employment relationships with a probationary period. This regulation applies to both contracting parties, both the employee and the employer.
I hope this information is helpful, if you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
Sincerely,
Andreas Scholz, Attorney
