My employer wanted me to sign TERMINATION AGREEMENT. I told them to change the wording within it, so I can claim later unemployment benefits. They told me then they can issue a TERMINATION LETTER, so I should not have an issue with it. The question is:

The question is:

Within the letter, they say: I (me) prefer an extended termination period instead of severance payment. I don't know if this wording would affect me.

HERE IS THE WORDING OF THE LETTER:

We hereby terminate your employment contract in compliance with the contractually agreed 3 months period of notice as of May, 31 2025, alternatively as of the next possible date.

The dismissal is based on urgent operational requirements pursuant to Section 1 (2) sentence 1 KSchG. As per our oral agreement, you prefer an extended termination period instead of a severance payment. So if you allow the three week period for taking legal action under Section 4 KSchG to elapse, you can claim an extended period of notice until August 31 2025.

In order to avoid disadvantages in the entitlement to unemployment benefits, there is an obligation to register as a jobseeker with the employment agency at least than three months between the actual termination of the employment relationship and the date of receipt of the notice of termination, the notification to the Employment Agency must be made within three days of receipt.
