You would like to end your employment with a company in Germany. What must you observe?

EDITORIAL LEARNING AID

Why is this answer correct?

Anyone wishing to end the employment relationship must give notice and observe the contractual or statutory notice period (§ 622 BGB); it determines when the employment ends. Salary payments (a), working hours (b) and insurance obligations (d) concern other matters and do not replace giving notice.

Termination: observe the notice period, otherwise it gets expensive.
