I was fired and forced to take all my vacations while waiting for the end of the employment (4 weeks after).   1. Does this means if I get a new job, then I do not have the right of any vacation till the end of the year? 2. Does my future employer get to know about my vacation were used? Or can I get vacation per time worked in the new company (2 days per month)?     Thank you in advance!

I have added a process to receive unemployment money through the online platform and I have not received any feedback.    I followed the instructions of signing up in the job suche as soon as I knew I would get unemployed, so I should not get the restriction of time.   1) How long does it take to get feedback about the process? 2) Should I go in person to the Arbeit Agency to check the process?   Thanks in advance,

Hi,    A company donates me a phone and a laptop which are second hand. I know the original price but the second hand price, I can only estimate it.   Do I need to pay taxes on those items? What is the best way to estimate a fair value? They do not estimate the second hand values either.   Thanks!

Hi,   I got fired from work due to "restructuring changes". I was some of the few affected from my team and it was done during my vacation. They sent me a settlement agreement as a pdf which is not yet valid from any parts. I was fired by e-mail and since then they did not answer the questions that I had. They promised on another e-mail 12 weeks of severance but in the deal there is only 8 weeks described. I have only two/three weeks to act on this, so I am not sure if someone here can help me to understand my chances:   - Does it worth to take them to court? I heard court can take years to solve and I am not sure if I can work in the meantime or if they will provide me with my salary until is solved. - What is the best way to negotiate with them as they neither sent me the real deal nor they want to answer my questions. - Can I getter a better deal for the settlement agreement?   I will have a lawyer appointment soon but I just want to find the best strategy to leave it in peace.   Thanks everyone for any help,

  Thank you. I actually do not have anything to sign just a pdf without their part signature.    I think they want to discuss first and make sure we are in an agreement. I manage to find a lawyer to consult tomorrow on the case.   Thank you so much

  I do not have a lawyer insurance but I also read you can proceed with a claim even without a lawyer.   I have a lawyer appointment tomorrow to review the documents. Also, they offered the deal for all the coworkers but I still did not get the signed up version of it. So I do not have anything right now.    I hope they arrange a meeting to discuss the settlement agreement and my dismissal. 

    Thank you for the suggestion. I will go over all these posts.

  I am sorry. I thought I could post this anonymously to ask for guidance.
