In the employment relationship, the employee is also entitled to actual employment. This is not a matter of course. However, case law has developed this claim from the general personal rights, human rights and the employer’s duty of loyalty under the employment contract as well as the employer’s duty of care as general principles of law.
This entitlement of the employee to actual employment is intended to prevent employees from being put out of work during the current employment relationship, as it were, in order to induce them, for example, to give notice of termination. It is thus intended to prevent the employer from simply letting the employee starve to death with his arm stretched out.
For it is known and proven that keeping away from any work in a current employment relationship is at least as great a burden as overwork.
On the one hand, keeping away from any work has the effect of alienating the employee from his workplace. It also has the effect that the relationship with colleagues suffers massively. Employees who are put off in this way have practically no chance in the employment relationship. To stay.
