What it means
A lump-sum payment made when employment ends, most common in an Aufhebungsvertrag or a company-wide restructuring, rather than a routine dismissal.
In practice
A rough starting point often floated in negotiations is half a month's Brutto salary per year of service, though this varies widely.
