Verbally notified of termination for Sept 30th – Job agency phone agent said "wait", but should I register as job-seeking now to avoid a Sperrzeit?
Hi everyone,
I recently had a conversation with my boss, and I was verbally informed that I will be terminated. The prospective end date of my contract is September 30th. However, I have not received the written termination notice (Kündigung) yet.
Since there are only two months left until the end of September, I can no longer meet the standard 3-month advance notification deadline required in Germany.
I already called the Agentur für Arbeit hotline. The operator told me to just wait until I have the written termination in hand. To be honest, I don't really trust that advice and don't want to take any risks (phone staff aren't always fully informed, and I absolutely cannot afford a Sperrzeit / benefit penalty).
My questions:
Can (or should) I go ahead and register as arbeitssuchend (job-seeking) online right now just to be legally safe, despite what the phone agent said?
Is a verbal announcement enough for the job agency's system, or will my registration be blocked/rejected without the physical letter anyway?
When exactly does the 3-day registration rule trigger for a potential Sperrzeit when the notice given is less than 3 months before the end date?
Thanks a lot for your insights and advice!
