Sad farewell: Moses branch in Gotha closes due to costs!

In Gotha there are sad news for all shopping fans: The branch of "Moses" in Erfurter Strasse has closed its goals. The shop windows are empty, the sales area is cleared. But why did the popular business have to close? As the Thuringia, the reason is not due to the lack of customers, but the high operating costs that the company can made.

The closure in Erfurter Straße is not the only bad news for the region: retail stores are also affected in other cities. While the business in Gotha is now history, the branch remains open in the department store on Ekhofplatz. Leather goods and luggage are still available there. However, the two division for children's clothing and sporting goods must be abandoned under the name "Moses". It remains unclear whether there is already a successor to the closed area. The owner has not yet commented.

Legal aspects of an operating closure

Such closures usually have deeper legal backgrounds. The process of an operating closure, as in the Kupka Stillfried , it is a permanent task of a independent organizational unit within a company. Employees who are affected by a termination have certain rights. In this way, terminations can be checked in the context of a business closure before the labor court by means of a dismissal protection lawsuit.

It is important to know that employers have the right to close a company, but the decision must not be arbitrary or unreasonable. Employees should be informed early about planned closures and included in the decision -making process. The works council plays a crucial role here, since it has to participate in the implementation of a social plan, which is intended to mitigate possible economic disadvantages for the employees concerned. The Consumeranananwalt explains that the information claims of the employees comprise important details of the time of closure, reasons and possible support measures.

compensation claims and employee rights

Another important facet is the severance payment claims that can be considered in the event of dismissals as a result of an operating closure. There are often no automatic requirements for severance payments. These are mostly negotiated as part of a social plan and are based on the duration of the service. The rule of thumb often applies, half a gross monthly salary per year of employment.

In view of these developments, affected employees should provide prospect of new employment opportunities in good time and, if necessary, legal advice. Employees can contact lawyers for labor law, unions and consumer protection organizations to find out more about their rights and to plan the next steps.

Overall, this case shows how important it is to know your own rights as an employee and to stay attentive when it comes to operational changes. The uncertainty caused by closings not only affects the employees themselves, but also on the social structure of the entire region.
