in the year 2011, the Federal labour court had decided that the employment of more than three years ago is considered to be a work in this sense. Karlsruhe had decided last year that the appropriate standard in part – time and temporary employment law can no longer be interpreted in practice by a rigid year limit. It allows, in principle, the expiration of two years, without the need for production of a law. It is prohibited, however, the so-called chain limit, if with the same employer “before” a fixed-term or open-ended employment relationship has passed. The constitutional court dissolved by the time limit, to narrow, the application for employer exceptions such as the previous shorter of the activities of the student.
In the current judgment, the work saw a judge after eight years of such exception. The plaintiff was employed from March 2004 to for one and a half years in the case of a car manufacturer. The company hired him again in August 2013, with property, plant and groundless expiration until the end of February 2014. According to the Federal labour court, the limitation is ineffective, because the former employment relationship is still very long and the job duties had not changed significantly. The plaintiff was therefore entitled to a permanent setting.
