1. Contract archaeology
Locate probe periods, individual notice clauses, and references to Tarifvertrag without drowning in the full Vertragstext.
Flagship program
German Notice Period Roadmap
Build a dated exit plan from your Vertrag, statutory baselines, and delivery realities — then pressure-test it before anyone else sees the letter.
This program is for employees preparing a resignation and for HR practitioners who must issue notices with the same calendar discipline. It is educational consultation content, not legal representation.
Learning outcomes
- Extract notice-relevant clauses from a German employment contract without missing overrides.
- Calculate candidate last-working days under § 622 BGB and common contractual extensions.
- Sequence letter drafting, delivery, and proof so the intended Kündigungstermin holds.
- List questions that belong with a lawyer versus questions you can resolve with HR operations.
Modules
2. Statutory vs. agreed baselines
Worked calendars for employee and employer notice lengths, including how seniority steps change the math.
3. Probation & fixed-term edges
Short windows, automatic endings of Befristung, and why written form still matters when everyone is rushing.
4. Employer sequencing desk
Internal approval order, Betriebsrat touchpoints at a high level, and separating holiday settlement from the notice date.
5. Delivery & proof habits
Practical methods for proving arrival timing that match how German employers actually receive mail and email.
6. Personal roadmap lab
Assemble your dated plan and bring it to the included review call for critique.

Participant notes
Module 5 on delivery proof was the piece I had never seen written down clearly. I reused the checklist for a later role change.
The roadmap lab caught an error in how I counted “zum Monatsende.” The review call was brisk; I would have liked ten more minutes on Tarif references, which Anja said sit outside the standard seat.
FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. The program teaches structured notice period planning for employment consultations in Germany. Disputed dismissals, discrimination claims, and Abfindung negotiations require a qualified lawyer.
What if my contract points to a Tarifvertrag I cannot access?
We teach how to identify the reference and what to request from HR or works council. Interpreting a Tarifvertrag you do not have is a real limitation of the self-paced modules — we pause and recommend counsel or document retrieval before finishing your calendar.
Can employers enrol teams?
Yes. Desk Pairing on the pricing page covers multiple calendars per month; individual seats remain available for single practitioners.
How long do I keep access?
Module access remains open for six months from enrolment confirmation. The clarification window after the review call is fourteen days.
