Act quickly
If you have not received your wages or have not received them in full, you need to do something about it quickly. You only have a short time to claim the money. Often it is only three months. This period is called the expiry period (Verfallsfrist).
Important:
If the problem occurred more than three months ago, you can still come to us for counselling. We will take a close look at your situation.
If you have any records and evidence, please bring them with you. At the UNDOK Drop-in Center, we’ll discuss your options for asserting your rights.
We’ll assist you!
