What is a notice of amendment (Änderungskündigung)?

A notice of amendment is a termination in which your employer makes you an offer with different contractual conditions. In most cases, however, the conditions in this offer are worse than in the current employment relationship.

Important! Employers are not allowed to only terminate parts of an employment contract. Partial termination is not permitted.

You must agree to a contract amendment. If you do not agree to the change, your employer can either not terminate the contract at all or only the entire contract. At the same time, he/she can then make you a new offer. For example, to continue the employment contract with changed conditions. This is known as a notice of amendment. If you receive a notice of amendment, it is best to get help and seek advice from your Fair Integration advice centre.
