According to the AK Kärnten, the entrepreneur responded to inquiries with empty promises and consolations. The employees then turned to the Chamber of Labor themselves. Just in time, as it turned out.
AK won 46,800 euros for employees
The AK district manager explains why employees should contact the AK as quickly as possible in such a case Mario Drussnitzer: “If the termination compensation is not sued for within 6 months after the failure to reinstate, it will be forfeited. “In addition, “compensation for termination is often calculated incorrectly and is too low,” says Drussnitzer. In the case of the two Villachers, the ALT severance pay was also asserted. This resulted in compensation payments totaling EUR 26,920.78 and EUR 19,905.95 for the two employees.
“When an employment relationship is terminated, appropriate deadlines and formal requirements must be met. Even if you are promised reinstatement, do not sign too quickly and seek advice from an AK legal expert,” recommends AK President Günther Goach on the subject of reinstatement.
