Description

Prerequisites

The reason for termination must be related to a recognized disability.

The employer's obligations and opportunities to use the benefits of accompanying assistance in working life or support from rehabilitation providers to maintain the job have been exhausted.

Procedure

An employer must submit the application for consent to dismissal or termination of employment in writing or electronically to the locally responsible integration office. In Bavaria, the tasks of the Integration Office are performed by the Inclusion Office at the Bavarian Family Social Affairs Center (ZBFS) with its seven regional offices. The regional office of the Integration Office responsible for the approval in each case is determined by the location of the company and is independent of the employee's place of residence.

The application must be submitted in writing or electronically and must be substantiated.

The further procedure by the Inclusion Office is governed by the so-called principle of official investigation. This means that the Inclusion Office is obliged on its own initiative to clarify everything that it considers necessary for the investigation of the facts and is not bound by the submissions or requests for evidence of the parties involved. The Inclusion Office therefore questions witnesses, experts, treating physicians and, if necessary, calls in specialist services, for example the Technical Advisory Service or an Integration Specialist Service. The representative body for the severely disabled or the works or staff council (if available in the company) are also asked for their opinion.

To clarify any ambiguities, the Inclusion Office can hold a conciliation meeting, if necessary on site.

Special notes

The representative of severely disabled persons (representative of severely disabled persons) has the same personal legal position vis-à-vis the employer, in particular the same protection against dismissal, transfer and secondment as a member of the works council or staff council.

The following applies within the probationary period: If the employment relationship has not existed for more than six months without interruption when the notice of termination is received, you can terminate the employment relationship without the consent of the Inclusion Office.

Deadlines

Approval must be applied for in good time.

Notice of termination may be given no earlier than after receipt of approval from the Inclusion Office.

If consent has been granted for an ordinary termination, the termination may only be declared within one month of notification of the consent.

If consent to an extraordinary termination has been granted, the termination may only be declared immediately after the consent has been granted.

If a notice of termination is not declared within the stipulated period after the consent has been granted, the consent decision loses its validity and the special protection against dismissal of the severely disabled person or person of equal status is revived.

Processing time

In the case of an application for approval of ordinary termination, the Inclusion Office should make a decision within one month of receipt of the application.

This deadline cannot always be met, especially if time-consuming clarifications of the facts have to be made.

In the case of extraordinary termination, on the other hand, there is a mandatory deadline of two weeks within which the Inclusion Office must make a decision. If this is not done, the fiction of consent occurs after the time has elapsed - the consent is deemed to have been granted.

Remedy

The decision of the Inclusion Office can be reviewed with an objection, possibly also immediately or subsequently with a complaint to the administrative court. However, the legal remedies do not have a suspensive effect. This means that the employer can immediately make use of the consent granted and terminate the employment relationship, but bears the risk that the consent decision could also be overturned later in the appeal proceedings.
