Termination by Mutual Consent: Your Options

Questioner

Afternoon, Now 5 weeks at home, stressed. I don't really see myself returning to my employer. What are my options? Can I propose a termination by mutual consent on the initiative of the employer? Do I have to report myself better first? IS this a detrimental act? Is my right to unemployment benefits then safe? In a settlement agreement, propose exemption from work up to and including the duration of the notice period? Please respond. Thank you very much!

You can agree with your employer to terminate the contract by mutual consent. A settlement agreement will then be drawn up containing the agreements made. You can include certain matters in it, such as culpability for unemployment, exemption from work, transition compensation, etc. You will also have to be better about signing the agreement because it is not advisable for you to leave employment while ill. I advise you to have this settlement agreement checked by a lawyer. I can help you with this free of charge. Please contact me directly and without obligation.

It is important that you do not lose your right to a transition payment and unemployment benefits by announcing that you would like to separate by mutual consent. That is why it is important to engage a lawyer.
