How to read length, notice, and mutual expectations in German employment contracts without overclaiming what the text guarantees.

Instructor
Nora Stein
Nora has facilitated employment consultations across Mittelstand and public-sector teams in Germany since 2014. She designs Apiservicebase curricula with a bias toward reusable agendas over slide decks.
Module 3’s evidence log was the piece I reused. I still found Module 5 dense if you have never spoken with a works council before.
As a hiring lead I appreciated the manager notes in Module 4. Not every example matched retail shifts, but the structure transferred.
FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. The workshop is educational guidance. For case-specific legal strategy you need a licensed advisor.
Can my whole team join?
Yes — ask about Hiring Desk Circle seating. We cap live reviews so feedback stays specific.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not simulate union negotiations or litigate outcomes. If your probation issue involves alleged discrimination or collective agreements, Module 5 only helps you recognize the handoff — it does not walk those procedures for you.
How long do I keep access?
Self-paced materials remain available for twelve months from enrollment confirmation.
