Letter templates for German employment matters
We supply tailored, individually drafted letters to clients — built from the templates below and adapted to your specific facts. Request the relevant template through the contact form.
Objection to a written warning (Gegendarstellung)
Formal reply that goes into your personnel file next to the Abmahnung. Useful when you do not want to escalate but want the record corrected.
Request to remove a written warning
Pre-litigation demand letter requiring the employer to remove an unjustified Abmahnung within a fixed deadline (typically 14 days).
Severance counter-offer
Counter to a § 1a KSchG offer or to a lowball termination-agreement proposal — anchored on the half-month rule and your leverage points.
Refusal of a termination agreement
Formal reply rejecting a termination agreement without burning the bridge to a renegotiated severance.
Request for a reference letter
Demand for a qualified reference (§ 109 GewO) and the standard "very good" overall grade.
Notification to legal-expenses insurance
Pre-filing notification triggering cover under your Rechtsschutzversicherung.
Why no public download? Letter templates are useful only when tailored to your specific facts. A generic template often does more harm than good because it concedes leverage. Use the contact form and we send you a tailored draft.
