Managers face specific legal and financial decisions when it comes to dismissal, termination agreements and contract drafting. Individual contracts and limited protection against dismissal mean that every decision becomes a matter of negotiation, career prospects and financial outlook. As employment lawyers in Munich, we advise executives on termination and contractual matters, focusing on legal safeguards and strategic room for manoeuvre in negotiations.
Why managers should be treated differently under employment law
- Protection against unfair dismissal is often limited: senior executives and managing directors are frequently not covered by the Unfair Dismissal Protection Act
- Customised contracts: bonuses, performance targets and non-competition clauses instead of standard contracts
- Separations usually negotiated: Mutual termination agreements instead of standard dismissals
- Strategic implications: Decisions affect career, reputation and financial prospects
- Negotiation rather than automatic procedures: mistakes are almost impossible to rectify later
Why break-ups at management level should be viewed differently
In the event of dismissal, termination by mutual agreement or the drafting of contracts, senior executives are often subject to different legal standards than other employees. Individual contracts, limited protection against dismissal and special contractual provisions mean that blanket assessments are insufficient in this context. What is crucial is an individual assessment of the contract, the position, market value and the negotiating situation.
With legal protection
Managers are often covered by insurance as well. The specific policy, the start date of the cover and the legal context are all key factors.
Without legal protection
Even if you do not have legal expenses insurance, it is still worth having your situation assessed. The key factors to consider are the legal framework, the effort involved and the financial viability.
