| If you'd care to read properly through what I posted then you would have got the inkling that the Beobachter ( and Kassensturz etc!!) states what is COMMONLY done on an AVERAGE if there is NOTHING else stated in a contract or Betriebsordnung!
Please do post the additional lists you mention,I would be all to happy to read them too,because i searched everywhere i knew and didn't find anything else!
After all you are one who's often asking for background info to underline/cement what one states in a post!
As for the 337d,The instant dismissal is a last resort,but the absence of ten days WITHOUT being contactable and without prior consent with the boss, is too much even for an important reason such as the death of a grandparent,and it can under this paragraph lead to a verbal or written warning or if it happened more than once,indeed to instant dismissal!
Unless you work at the same place as Sandgrounder you don't know if there isn't anything stated somewhere in their paperwork,so lets wait and see if Sandgrounder now finds anything.
In the meantime I am happily awaiting the additional lists you mention! | |

Thanks, Eastenders, for looking into this so much for me. I think dismissal is off the table as far as this employee is concerned. I think I'll play it so the employee knows that while I was deeply sympathetic to the loss, I was also deeply p*ssed off at the way they handled it.
Our company isn't set up with a proper HR department - the salaries and admin is farmed out to another company and holidays are normally agreed on an informal basis (i.e. we just check who else is off and cover accordingly). There's no real record keeping on performance of employees; again it's all totally informal.
Recruitment has been done in a kind of "Oh God, we desperately need a [whatever]. Quick contact all the agencies we know."
The Swiss branch has grown from a grand total of 3 (boss, assistant and secretary) to 12 people and the old principles still apply.
Writing about this has actually been quite enlightening to me and earlier posts from EF members have kind of given me the idea I need to try to implement some changes to the company - or at least the Swiss branch.
I think one of those business consultant chaps would have a field day in our place.
