The Resignation Certificate From Employer (Arbeitszeugnis) is a fundamental document in German employment law, required under §109 of the German Industrial Code (Gewerbeordnung) and §630 of the German Civil Code (BGB). This document must be provided to all employees upon termination of their employment relationship, regardless of the reason for departure or length of service. The certificate serves as an official employment reference and can significantly impact an employee's future career opportunities. It must follow specific formal requirements and use carefully coded language that has developed specific meanings in German business culture. The document typically exists in two forms: a simple version (einfaches Zeugnis) containing basic employment details, and a qualified version (qualifiziertes Zeugnis) including performance and behavioral assessments. The Resignation Certificate uses standardized phrases and must maintain a balance between truthfulness and benevolence, making it a crucial document for both employers and employees in the German employment landscape.
