In a layoff situation, everyone benefits if all parties cooperate. It is important to keep a cool head when staff reductions are required, for German labor law provides for employee protections in layoff situations. Enterprises which are planning or forced to lay off a substantial number of employees will need to draft a social/labor impact mitigation plan. You can rely on von Rundstedt in this crucial regard, as our role is to ensure that the process goes smoothly and staff quickly find new employment.
Your employees benefit from transfer arrangements, you benefit from quality management.
Whether you may utilize a transfer company or transfer agency, your employees will enjoy distinctly better re-hiring prospects if supported by von Rundstedt. We address the needs of every affected individual within the framework of your company’s budget and scheduling requirements. Importantly, quality management is included in our transfer services, thus we do project management and comprehensive reporting in addition to consulting on structuring a labor impact mitigation plan and the securing of subsidies. Your employees are in the best of hands with us: that’s our bottom line.

Transfer company: what it means and what the benefits are
Are employees to be terminated as of a specific time, due for example to a site closure? In this case, a transfer company is a recommendable solution, in which employees voluntarily depart the company’s employ, directly transferring into the employ of Rundstedt Transfer GmbH. Transferring employees then take part in a highly effective job search program with orientation, training and placement elements plus services for those looking to go independent in self-employment. These services are comparable to outplacement.
A transfer company takes over the company’s employees and then provides them job search support. During the period of formation of the transfer company (maximum 12 months), employees receive transfer partial furlough benefits from the federal government in the amount of 67 percent of their last net salary at their former employer, which the company usually tops up to 80–85 percent.
The transfer agency is an alternative model in which employees receive essentially the same benefits as with a transfer company arrangement but are not formally transferred under an employment contract. Instead, employees remain in the employ of the company until the end of their respective individual termination notice period, during which time they can take advantage of career and job search counseling.
The transfer agency model is similar to a group outplacement arrangement. A transfer agency is however eligible for state subsidy like a transfer company if the agency is AZAV*-certified.
We have been conducting group counseling since 1987.
The company Rundstedt Transfer GmbH was formed in 2005.
To date we have completed over 350 projects involving a total of 18,000 employees.
