I have trouble with my employer – pay, warning, overtime, reference
How the roadmap works. Answer the questions. Your roadmap is built from them. It shows which evidence you need, which deadlines are running and who can help you. Important: many claims arising from employment lapse after just a few months if you do not assert them in writing. If you have been dismissed, use the roadmap "I am losing my job": a separate, very short deadline for filing a claim applies there.

Your situation
Your roadmap
As of November 2026. The roadmap arranges general information according to your answers. It does not review an individual case, does not replace legal advice and does not assess your dismissal or any deadline as valid, met or missed. Whether an entitlement exists is decided by the responsible office; deadlines and amounts change often – check important details with an advice centre.
