What is the final payment date for transition compensation after dismissal?

Questioner

I have a question about the transition payment from an employment agency that did not renew my contract. On June 7, a month has passed since my contract expired. I have sent two emails to the agency asking how soon my payment will be made. So far I have not received any specific answers except that the administration is working on it. My question is what is the legal maximum time that I can wait for it? Do I send a special letter to the agency in addition to my emails?

The statutory payment term for the transition payment is 1 month after the end date. If the employer has not paid by then, it is good to remember that a possible petition must be sent to the court within three months after the end date. So for now, a letter is sufficient and that letter does not have to contain more than the request to make the transition payment payable. If the employer does not pay this month either, file a petition with the court as soon as possible. Success!
