Read the terms in context
A German employment contract can be short while leaving important matters to statutes, collective agreements or company policy. In this session, we identify the clauses that affect your day-to-day role and turn ambiguous points into a useful question list for the employer.
We discuss salary components, bonus wording, probation, termination notice, holiday, overtime, secondary employment, confidentiality, post-contract restrictions, work location and business travel. The purpose is comprehension and preparation, not a legal opinion.
Before and after
Send a redacted copy at least two working days ahead. We annotate a discussion copy and spend the hour on decisions rather than reading aloud. Within one working day, you receive a one-page recap of points to confirm with HR and any issues that warrant an employment lawyer.
This service is most useful before signing. It is not suitable for an active dismissal, disciplinary process or dispute over unpaid compensation.
