In this article here we have explained the basic principles of German labour law, in particular the protection of employees against dismissal. To give you an idea what a typical German employment agreement looks like we have posted a model Employee Agreement here: Model_Employment_Contract_Germany_english_2013
The contract is based on German labour law, but drafted in English language. To use an English contract is of course only acceptable if the employee is fluent in English otherwise he/she may later claim that the contract is void. We therefore suggest to use bilingual contract templates, like this model Director’s Management Agreement here: Directors_Employment_Agreement_German_Law
