In labour court practice the starting point is half a gross monthly salary per year of service, and the statute provides this amount expressly only for the special case of a redundancy dismissal with a severance offer (sec. 1a KSchG). Beyond that, severance is always a matter of negotiation. The employer wants to part with the employee, the employee demands reinstatement, and both sides reach a settlement in which the severance is the \u201cprice\u201d for the job. The employer buys its way out. The weaker the grounds for dismissal and the more urgently the employer wants the separation, the higher the amount.<\/p>\r\n      <p><b>Last resort.<\/b> If no settlement is reached and continued employment with this employer is unreasonable for the employee, there remains the application to have the court dissolve the employment relationship (Aufl\u00f6sungsantrag, sec. 9 (1) KSchG). The court declares the dismissal invalid, dissolves the employment relationship and awards severance of up to twelve monthly salaries, with longer service and higher age up to fifteen or eighteen (sec. 10 (1) and (2) KSchG). This is a fallback, not the plan for the case.<\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"bwx-ab\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Graphic: severance, starting point and upper limits\"><div class=\"bwx-ab__col\"><p class=\"bwx-eye\">Starting point in practice<\/p><div class=\"bwx-ab__f\"><span>\u00bd gross monthly salary<\/span><i>\u00d7<\/i><span>years of service<\/span><\/div><p class=\"bwx-ab__ex\">Example: \u20ac3,000 gross and 8 years of service give <b>\u20ac12,000<\/b> as the starting point.<\/p><ul class=\"bwx-ab__up\"><li class=\"h\">The amount rises when<\/li><li><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 19V5M6 11l6-6 6 6\"\/><\/svg>the grounds for dismissal are weak<\/li><li><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12 19V5M6 11l6-6 6 6\"\/><\/svg>the employer urgently wants the separation<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"bwx-ab__col\"><p class=\"bwx-eye\">Last resort: Aufl\u00f6sungsantrag<\/p><div class=\"bwx-ab__bars\"><div><i style=\"--w:66.7%\">up to 12<\/i><span>monthly salaries as the general rule (sec.\u00a010 (1) KSchG)<\/span><\/div><div><i style=\"--w:83.3%\">up to 15<\/i><span>from age 50 with 15 years of employment<\/span><\/div><div><i style=\"--w:100%\">up to 18<\/i><span>from age 55 with 20 years of employment (sec.\u00a010 (2) KSchG)<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<!-- KOSZTY + INNE SPRAWY -->\r\n<section class=\"sec alt\">\r\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\r\n    <div class=\"sec-head rv\">\r\n      <span class=\"eyebrow\">Costs<\/span>\r\n      <h2>What does it cost?

We act for employees and employers in Frankfurt (Oder) and the surrounding districts of Oder-Spree and M\u00e4rkisch-Oderland, including international staff and cross-border commuters who work in Brandenburg or Berlin. If your employer is based in the region or you work there, your case will usually be heard by the Labour Court Frankfurt (Oder), where we attend conciliation and trial hearings in person. Advice in English, German and Polish, at our office or online.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"bwx-stats rv d2\"><div><b>\u2248 15 min<\/b><span>on foot to the Labour Court Frankfurt (Oder)<\/span><\/div><div><b>\u2248 1.4 km<\/b><span>to the border bridge to S\u0142ubice<\/span><\/div><div><b>EN \u00b7 DE \u00b7 PL<\/b><span>at our office or online<\/span><\/div><\/div>\r\n    <p class=\"rv d2\" style=\"margin-top:1rem\"><a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\" style=\"color:var(--terra);font-weight:600\">Contact &amp; directions \u2192<\/a><\/p>\r\n  <\/div><div class=\"bwx-collage rv d1\"><figure class=\"bwx-ph bwx-c1\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/kancelaria-fasada-2026.webp\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/kancelaria-fasada-2026-480.webp 480w, \/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/kancelaria-fasada-2026.webp 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 80vw, 380px\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"BWLAW office building, Rudolf-Breitscheid-Stra\u00dfe 10, Frankfurt (Oder)\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-position:50% 60%\"><figcaption>Office, Rudolf-Breitscheid-Stra\u00dfe 10<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"bwx-ph bwx-c2\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/artur-balkon-2026.webp\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/artur-balkon-2026-600.webp 600w, \/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/artur-balkon-2026.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 46vw, 230px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Dr. Artur Barczewski on the balcony of the BWLAW office in Frankfurt (Oder)\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-position:58% 30%\"><figcaption>Office balcony<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class=\"bwx-ph bwx-c3\"><img src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/oderbruecke-frankfurt-slubice.webp\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/oderbruecke-frankfurt-slubice-600.webp 600w, \/wp-content\/themes\/bwlaw-child-1\/assets\/img\/oderbruecke-frankfurt-slubice.webp 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 46vw, 230px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Oder bridge between Frankfurt (Oder) and S\u0142ubice\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-position:40% 50%\"><figcaption>Oder bridge to S\u0142ubice<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!-- FAQ -->\r\n<section class=\"sec\">\r\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\r\n    <div class=\"sec-head rv\">\r\n      <span class=\"eyebrow\">FAQ<\/span>\r\n      <h2>Frequently asked questions on German employment law<\/h2>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"faq-list rv d1\">\r\n      <div class=\"qa open\">\r\n        <button aria-expanded=\"true\">More than 21 days have passed.
