The termination is confirmed, but the employer asks that you do not communicate anything for the time being.
Employees get into strange situations.
Do you have to comply with such a request?
If you leave your employer at your own request, you are sometimes faced with the question:
When can I tell others about my termination *?
Because it happens again and again that employers ask to keep the notice of termination silent for the time being.
Notice of termination may be communicated in most cases
“That is more of a pious wish”, so the assessment of Johannes Schipp, specialist lawyer for labor law in Gütersloh.
There are duties of consideration on the part of the employee.
Such a request can
only be really binding in exceptional cases
.
It would be conceivable, for example, that a large order is pending, before which the termination should not be communicated, because otherwise the deal threatens to collapse.

Caution: In these cases you are threatened with termination without notice
In any case, you will be able to communicate the termination without hesitation to colleagues.
“I couldn't think of any reason why the employer should be able to prohibit this, even if it is uncomfortable for him,” says Schipp.
"That would have to be very blatant exceptional cases."
