GRP Rainer Lawyers and Tax Advisors in Cologne, Berlin, Bonn, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart and London – grprainer.com/en conclude: The Kiel Labour Court (ArbG) ruled in a recent judgment (Az.: 2 Ca 1793 a/13; not yet legally binding) that unlawful actions of employees aimed at increasing their net earnings can justify dismissal. The employee who raised the action was said to have credited her additional work to two marginally employed workers and then had them pay out the money to her. In doing so, she obtained far greater net earnings. In court, the plaintiff stated that this accounting method was suggested to her by the responsible operations manager.
