Many companies promise tempting special benefits in their job offers. It is not uncommon for new employees to be disappointed.

What is promised in a job advertisement is not binding at first. Applicants should under no circumstances rely on offers in job advertisements or verbal promises during the interview. Only in a few cases do those affected have the opportunity to invoke their employer's obligation to provide information. If it was concealed that the company was about to go bankrupt or that the eventual job was absolutely not what the advert advertised, a labor court must then decide whether the plaintiff is actually entitled to compensation.
