Agreement on Termination of Employment

Print

Content:

Ending employment doesn’t always have to be dramatic. In fact, the most peaceful and flexible option is the agreement on termination of employment. It allows both the employer and the employee to part ways on mutually agreed terms and dates – without the need for notice periods or disputes.

✅ What is it?

It’s a bilateral agreement between the employee and employer setting a specific end date for the employment. No legal reason needs to be stated – but it’s often helpful for unemployment registration or future legal certainty.

🎯 Benefits:
  • no notice period,

  • flexible end date,

  • allows negotiation (severance, benefits),

  • written agreement avoids misunderstandings.

⚠️ Be careful:
  • Must be in written form to be valid.

  • It’s often wise to include a reason.

  • Don’t sign if unsure – it’s okay to negotiate.

📄 Want a sample?

For a symbolic fee, I can provide a basic sample agreement. For more complex cases (severance, organizational dismissal, dispute situations), I recommend individual legal consultation.

FINAL THOUGHTS – WHAT NOW?

An agreement on termination of employment isn’t  just a formality – it’s a legal shield, if drafted properly. And a trap, if not.
