The Theory and Policy of Labour Protection
Schäffle, A. (Albert)
Labor laws and legislation -- Germany
In the case of those industries in which the health of the workers would
be endangered by the excessive duration of daily work, orders may be
issued by decision of the Federal Council as to the duration, beginning
and ending of the time permitted for daily work, and as to the intervals
to be granted; and the necessary orders may be issued for the
enforcement of these directions.
Directions issued by decision of the Federal Council shall be published
in the _Imperial Law Gazette_, and shall be laid before the Reichstag
for discussion at the next session.
II. RELATIONS OF JOURNEYMEN AND ASSISTANTS.
Sec. 121.
Journeymen and assistants shall be bound to obey the orders of the
employer with respect to the work entrusted to them, and to comply with
domestic arrangements; they shall not be obliged to perform domestic
work.
Sec. 122.
Working relations between journeymen or assistants and their employers
may be dissolved by notice given fourteen days previously by either
party, unless agreement to the contrary has been made. If other periods
of notice have been agreed on, they must be equal for both parties.
Agreements made in contravention of this provision shall be void.
Sec. 123.
Journeymen and assistants may be dismissed before the expiration of the
contract time, and without notice:
1. If, in concluding the contract of work they have deceived the
employer by producing a false or falsified work register or
testimonial, or if they have deceived him as to the existence of
some other working relation in which they already stand;
2. If they are guilty of theft, appropriation, embezzlement, deceit
or immoral living;
3. If they have quitted work without permission, or have otherwise
persistently refused to fulfil the obligations imposed upon them by
the contract;
4. If, in spite of warnings, they carelessly carry about fire and
light;
5. If they are guilty of violence or abuse towards the employer or
his representatives or towards the relatives of the employer or of
his representatives;
6. If they are guilty of wilful and illegal damage to the injury of
the employer or of a fellow-worker;
7. If they lead or seek to lead relatives of the employer or of his
representatives or of their fellow-workers into illegal or immoral
courses, or if they unite with relatives of the employer or of his
representatives in committing illegal or immoral acts;
8. If they are incapable of continuing work or are afflicted with
serious illness.
In the cases mentioned under Nos. 1 to 7, dismissal shall no longer be
permissible if the grounds thereof have been known to the employer for
longer than one week.
In the case mentioned under No. 8, it shall be determined in accordance
with the contract and with general legal enactments, how far claims for
compensation may be preferred by the party dismissed.
Sec. 124.
