Personenbedingte Kündigung erklärt - rechtliches Lexikon

What is a termination for personal reasons?

Personal reasons for termination are those based on the employee’s personal abilities and characteristics, which are generally beyond the employee’s control (e.g. illness, lack of work permit). A dismissal for personal reasons is effective if contractual or operational interests are significantly impaired, there is a negative prognosis for the future, no less severe means than dismissal are available and the employer’s interest in the dismissal ultimately prevails in the context of a weighing of interests.
