Law and data protection
KSchG
Abbreviation for Kündigungsschutzgesetz
In short and in plain language
The KSchG is a German law that protects employees.
It protects them from being dismissed without a fair social reason.
Whether it applies to a business depends, among other things, on how many people work there.
Some care services have many part-time staff. For them, it can matter how the law counts the staff.
Definition
The KSchG is the German Dismissal Protection Act, which governs the protection of employees against socially unjustified dismissals. Whether it applies to a business depends, among other things, on the number of employees. For care services with many part-time staff, the way the act counts employees can matter.
