Employment consultations in Germany for people who need a measured resignation plan — notice timing, letter wording, and a handover that protects relationships.
Flagship programme
Resignation Roadmap for Germany
A guided sequence that maps statutory and contractual notice, drafts a clean resignation letter, and builds a week-by-week exit checklist you can actually follow.
View modules & outcomesWhat we clarify before you speak to HR
Leaving a role in Germany is rarely only about courage. It is about dates, form requirements, and how you close open work without creating avoidable friction.
- Count notice from the correct trigger date — contract clause versus Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch default.
- Separate what belongs in the letter from what belongs in a private conversation.
- Plan garden-leave and remaining leave days without guessing mid-exit.
- Prepare a handover outline that keeps clients and teammates covered.
Voices from recent exits
The Notice Calendar module stopped me from sending my letter on a Friday afternoon — that alone would have cost me an extra month under my contract.
Useful on timing. I still wished for a German-language letter template pack; English coaching was fine, but my HR wanted German first.
