Dismissal due to illness: what are your rights?

Questioner

I have a one-year contract and often suffer from migraines, my boss now wants to get rid of me, the contract runs until December. Is that possible?

Lawyer

If the reason for dismissal is that you are often absent due to migraine, that cannot be ruled out. In itself, dismissal is related to illness and a ban on dismissal applies to that. That is the short answer. The problem with migraine is that it comes and goes. The ban on dismissal only applies to the time that you cannot work due to illness. That means that the disruption to the work process due to the migraine will have to be examined. Then all facts and circumstances count. The bar is set high, so I would approach a dismissal procedure with confidence. In addition, if you have a fixed-term contract, it can only be terminated prematurely if that possibility is included in the contract. Otherwise, the contract runs until Dec.
