Special protection against dismissal under collective agreements for older employees in Germany

Eberl, Karin Annemarie, 1987- Special protection against dismissal under collective agreements for older employees in Germany / Karin Eberl, Bernd Zimmermann. -- Clauses on special protection against dismissal in collective agreements for older empoyees typically do not violate the principle of equal treatment or the Directive 2000/78/EC, in particular as the goal of preventing unemployment of older workforce genereally amounts to a legitimate purpose. A dismissal despite non-dismissability under a collective agreement should neither be reffered to as extraordinary regular dismissal or regular dismissal on serious grounds. An alternative term for instance would be "false extraordinary dismissal". Clauses on protection against dismissal in collective agreements for older empoyees should not disproportionately treat age and length of service with the company. Fürther also it is advisable to also include in such protection clauses the factor of suport obligations. Diesmissals on personal grounds of non-dismissible persons under collective agreements should only be made in extreme cases. Such extreme cases typically sonstitute an extraordinary ground for dismissal anyway in accordance with Section 626 of the German Civil Code. Diesmissals on grounds of conduct should be excluded from the scope of protection against dismissal under collective agreements. Consequently, non-dismissible persons under collective agreements should be treated with regard to dismissals on grounds of conduct as normally dismissible empoyees.
