The party who considers themselves injured must oppose the termination in writing before the end of the notice period. If the opposition is valid and the parties can no longer maintain the work relationship, the party who has received notice of termination can enforce his or her compensation claim. Legal action must be initiated within 180 days from the termination of the contract, or the right to claim compensation will expire.
