How It Works · Germany termination file review

How Aram reviews a German termination file before the Kündigungsschutzklage is filed.

Aram reviews termination records under KSchG, BetrVG, and AGG — gate by gate — so counsel knows where the file holds and where it weakens before litigation strategy is set.

How It Works

The termination file review pipeline, at a glance

Aram reviews the termination record so counsel can inspect how the file reads at each legal checkpoint (Prüfstufe), where it weakens under challenge, and how the result is delivered back to the team.

Use the diagram below as the hub for Gate Architecture (Stufenprüfung), Challenge Analysis, Sample Reports, and Case Repository.


Workflow surfaces

Four connected surfaces around one file

The same termination file is reviewed from four distinct angles so the legal checkpoint review, challenge analysis, report delivery, and public pattern layers remain separate.

Each surface answers a different lawyer-facing question. Together they create one review workflow, not four unrelated pages.

Review the hub diagram, then move into the linked secondary pages.


How It Works

How the termination file review works

Every termination file passes through one structured review pipeline. Gate Architecture (Stufenprüfung) explains the legal checkpoint logic, Challenge Analysis explains where the file weakens under pressure, Sample Reports show the output surface, and Case Repository anchors those patterns in public BAG cases.

System overview

What is the Aram Algorithm termination file review system?

Aram Algorithm is a structured termination file review system for contested German terminations (Kündigungsschutzverfahren). It evaluates completed employer termination files under the Kündigungsschutzgesetz (KSchG), Betriebsverfassungsgesetz (BetrVG), Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz (AGG), and related employment statutes through an eight-gate review framework (Stufenprüfung G0–G7) with 26 evaluation points.

Who is this system for?

The system serves Fachanwälte für Arbeitsrecht, Syndikusrechtsanwälte (in-house legal counsel), and Personalleiter (HR directors) managing employer-side termination disputes. It provides structured documentary analysis before counsel finalises litigation strategy.

What documentation problem does it address?

German employers risk losing termination disputes when the contemporaneous file (zeitnahe Dokumentation) contains undetected deficiencies under KSchG, BetrVG, or BGB §§ 611a ff. The system identifies these weaknesses in the file before they surface in proceedings, enabling counsel to assess litigation exposure against a structured framework aligned with BAG case law.


Who we help

Who we help

Fachanwälte für Arbeitsrecht

Review the file the way the Arbeitsgericht will reconstruct it — before the three-week Kündigungsschutzklage deadline runs.

In-House Legal / Syndikusrechtsanwälte

Examine the termination record for documentary and procedural gaps before escalation to external counsel.

HR Departments (Personalleiter)

Identify where documentation is incomplete — before the file reaches legal review or the Betriebsrat is notified.

Why cases weaken

Why cases weaken

Most termination decisions do not fail because the underlying reason was wrong. They fail because the contemporaneous file (zeitnahe Dokumentation) cannot carry the review, the challenge, or the court’s reconstruction. Under §1 KSchG, the burden of proof lies with the employer — not the employee.

  • Evidence is missing or was not documented at the time of the event
  • Documentation is inconsistent or does not support the stated ground
  • Procedural steps (Abmahnung, §102 BetrVG consultation) cannot be reconstructed from the file

Labour courts (Arbeitsgerichte) do not evaluate intention. They reconstruct the contemporaneous record.

FAQ

Questions counsel asks before opening a review.

Scope, evidence rules, outputs, statute coverage, and timing — clarified before the scoping call.

What does Aram review?
We review completed German termination decisions using the contemporaneous file only (zeitnahe Dokumentation), then assess that record through Gate Architecture (Stufenprüfung G0–G7), Challenge Analysis (Schwachstellenkatalog), Sample Reports (Musterberichte), and the Case Repository (Fallarchiv).
Who is this for?
The service is designed for Fachanwälte für Arbeitsrecht, Syndikusrechtsanwälte (in-house legal), and Personalleiter (HR directors) working on employer-side German termination disputes.
What comes back?
Qualified matters receive a structured Prüfbericht (review report), Beweismittelübersicht (evidence map), Mängelliste (deficiency log), and an Anwaltsbericht (attorney-facing output). Public samples are available in the Sample Reports section.
Why does the three-week deadline matter?
Under §4 KSchG, a dismissed employee must file a Kündigungsschutzklage within three weeks of receiving notice. After that deadline, the dismissal becomes legally final under §7 KSchG — regardless of substantive merit. Counsel instructed before the deadline can assess the file while remediation and strategy options remain open.
Which statutes does the review cover?
The review covers KSchG (§§ 1, 4, 9, 15, 17), BGB (§§ 626, 622, 242), BetrVG (§ 102), AGG (§§ 1–7), SGB IX (§ 168), MuSchG (§ 17), and BEEG. Gate G0 identifies which statutes apply before the substantive review begins.
How fast is turnaround?
Standard turnaround is 72 hours. Expedited options: Court-Tomorrow (24 hours, nächster Verhandlungstag) and Injunction Mode (12 hours, einstweilige Verfügung) are available when the evidence package is in scope and complete.
Is this legal advice?
No. Aram provides documentary and structural file review only — not legal advice, legal opinion, or legal representation. See the Disclaimer, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy for operating conditions.

Decision Framework

How the system evaluates termination cases

  • Legal qualification of dismissal type
  • Pattern matching against precedent structures
  • Compliance validation against statutory requirements
  • Risk classification output

The system applies structured legal reasoning to each termination file, evaluating evidence completeness and procedural compliance through a decision framework anchored in KSchG, BetrVG, AGG, and BGB.
