A cleverly designed severance payment
A severance agreement with a cleverly divided severance payment is used in the case of professional terminations to avoid social selection, reinstatement or proof of person-related reasons. A fair, relaxed and future-oriented severance agreement includes a NewPlacement coaching of your choice (coach, method) until success, where you save income tax and VAT as well as receive an additional subsidy from the company. The future-proof Out/NewPlacement fee can be financed by the tax advantages through a net settlement of half the amount and topped up by the favored subsidy from the company.In addition, a missing amount can be supplemented by an installment model in relation to the new salary (for the first time in the following month after commencement). Generally, the severance amount is negotiated as a factor (0.5-1.0) x years of service) times the last monthly salary (annual gross salary incl. bonus etc. divided by 12). In this context, 0.5 is a general starting point (courts), unless there are social plans with a higher factor that can be taken into account. The severance pay can be topped up by a sprinter bonus (50-100% monthly salary) for leaving early. This creates a direct return on investment of the Out/NewPlacement fee for both sides (saving of incidental costs/leasing/bonus for remaining term even at 100% for the company). See also

Contentious disputes block both sides for months and in the subsequent application process, necessary personal references often have to be dispensed with.
When negotiating termination agreements, the separation should not be dramatized. Fairness, relaxation and a focus on the future should be at the forefront of this win-win instead of disappointment, anger and fear for the future. The NewPlacement-Coach supports you already in the free and non-binding informational interview thereby, all aspects (setting screws) against each other to weigh and for relaxation to provide.
Blocking periods unemployment pay (12 weeks/no legal advice)
The cancellation agreement should terminate the employer-employee relationship instead of an imminent operational or personal notice. It is imperative that the contractual remaining term after a termination be observed. The severance payment should be up to 0.5 monthly salaries per year of employment. The costs for the NewPlacement/OutPlacement consultation are not part of the severance payment and can be paid additionally. About the tax exemption see link above.
The NewPlacement coach can play an important role in the necessary relaxation as well as avoidance of disputes and future-blocking legal proceedings due to his experience.
