Ending your employment

If you want to terminate your contract (for example, because there is no budget or you have another job), a formal notice of termination with the following details is required:

• Date of the letter (at least two weeks before the end of the desired contract end date)
• Sentence "I hereby terminate my employment contract with effect from" (date: the last day of the last month of employment)
• Your registration address, first and last name and membership number
• Address of the cooperative: SMartDe eG or Smart Bildungswerk gGmbH, Wilhelmstraße 150, 10963 Berlin
• Signature (digital or original)

The original signed notice of termination should be sent by e-mail. The date of termination must be before the desired termination date.

Example: The employment contract runs until March 31. The employment contract is to be terminated on February 28th. The notice of termination must be submitted two weeks before February 28th. If your employment with Smart ends, you must ensure that you continue to have health insurance yourself. If you have any questions, you can of course contact us.

Don't have any new orders planned? Contact us, and we'll try to find an individual solution. For example, we could reduce your salary or offer you unpaid leave.

Do you still have any budget remaining after the payment of your last salary? Please let us know in good time if you would like to use your full remaining budget before the end of your employment.

Ending your employment contract does not mean terminating your membership with Smart. We recommend keeping your membership in the cooperative so that you have the flexibility to resume your employment when you need to.
