Deadline at a glance

3 weeks from receipt

§ 4 KSchG

The action must be received by the labor court within 3 weeks of receipt of the dismissal – otherwise the dismissal is deemed effective.

It is an AI, not a person: nobody looks at your individual case, and we do not know who signs up or for what reason. That is why we give pointers, but no legal advice on the individual case. Guidelines and playbooks in the platform are only guardrails: the AI relies on the available sources and your information. AI can make mistakes — check important results, and if in doubt, ask a lawyer.

What you can do here in 5 minutes

A dismissal is not automatically effective. Form, authority, social selection and special protection against dismissal are common sources of error – but the 3-week deadline for bringing an action is unforgiving.

Upload the notice of dismissal – our AI tools check form, deadline and special protection against dismissal and refer you on the same day to a specialist employment lawyer (Fachanwalt für Arbeitsrecht).
