Staff resignation

Below you will find information and legal texts on the subject of the end of employment.

You are also welcome to take advantage of the opportunity for a personal consultation with the relevant contact at Division I.

Cancellation

If you unfortunately wish to leave FH Aachen, we require an informal letter from you in due time. The notice periods can be found in §30 or §34 TV-L.

If you wish to leave FH Aachen earlier, you can also agree a termination agreement at any time if your supervisor agrees. We then require an informal letter with the confirmation of your superior.

Intermediate/final certificate

Employees are entitled to a qualified certificate upon termination of employment. In justified cases (e.g. change of supervisor, intention to apply for a job), an interim reference may be issued.

The qualified certificate contains information on the nature and duration of the employment relationship as well as on the employee's conduct, performance and behaviour. The employee must apply to their supervisor for a qualified certificate to be issued.

In order to be able to issue the certificate, we need the completed evaluation form from your supervisor.

Certificates are issued by the employees of Division I after receipt of the evaluation form.

The following downloads are available to FH Aachen employees after login.

Retirement

The employment relationship ends without notice of termination at the end of the month in which the employee reaches the statutory age for reaching a standard old-age pension without deductions. Please submit a copy of the pension certificate to the Human Resources Department.

Early retirement

If you wish to retire before reaching the statutory retirement age, you must submit an informal application for termination of employment to the Human Resources Department. In this case, a termination agreement will be concluded.

The employer (FH Aachen) only has to provide supplementary information on a pension application in the case of a reduced earning capacity pension.

Reduced earning capacity pension (§ 33 TV-L)

The employment relationship also ends at the end of the month in which the notification from a pension insurance provider (pension notification) is delivered stating that the employee is fully or partially incapacitated for work. The employee must inform the FH Aachen Human Resources Department immediately of the delivery of the pension notice.

Counselling

Advice on all matters relating to statutory pension insurance - pensions, medical and occupational rehabilitation - can be obtained from the German Pension Insurance (Deutsche Rentenversicherung).

Supply information

From 1 January 2021, civil servants of the state and the state's universities as well as judges of the state who have reached the age of 55 and in specially justified cases, among others, are legally entitled to receive pension information. (§ 57 Para. 10 LBeamtVG NRW).

For this purpose, the LBV NRW has set up an online application procedure, which is already being tested as part of a pilot project. As part of this project, civil servants of the state and the state's universities as well as judges of the state who have reached the age of 55 by 1 January 2021 at the latest will be able to submit an application for pension information. As your personnel administration office, we are now also taking part in this pilot project.
If you will have reached the age of 55 by 1 January 2021 at the latest, you can now submit an application for pension information via the following link: https: //www.versorgungsauskunft.nrw.de

You enter and submit the required data yourself as part of the online application process. After we have checked the data as your personnel administration office, the LBV NRW will carry out the assessment under pension law and issue the requested information.

Please note:
Due to our participation in the pilot project, you can only submit an application for pension information via the new online application procedure.
If you need information because you are planning to retire due to disability, you cannot use the online application procedure. Please contact your personnel administration department directly with your request, regardless of your age.
