Yes — but not always. Minijobbers benefit from general termination protection if certain conditions are met. These include:
At least 6 months of employment
The employer has more than 10 full-time employees
The termination is socially unjustified, e.g., arbitrary or without hearing you
In special cases — like pregnancy, parental leave, or severe disability — there is additional protection that applies regardless of working hours.There is no legal entitlement to severance pay — but many employers offer a voluntary payment to avoid disputes. This is especially common if the termination could be legally challenged.
A common calculation is:
👉 0.5 gross monthly salaries per year of employment
Even with a small salary, this can add up to a significant amount — often several hundred euros or more.
