What is a disrupted employment relationship?
A disrupted employment relationship means that the employee is in principle fit to perform the work, but the relationship between the parties (employer / employee or employee / employee) has been disrupted to such an extent that the continuation of the employment is not opportune, at least not without change. Now a brief conflict can always happen mutually, but this does not always necessarily lead to a disrupted employment relationship. According to the law, this only occurs when the disruption is "lasting and serious. After all, if a party engages in such serious conduct that the relationship is immediately and irreparably damaged, it is not required that this continues for a long time before one can speak of a disrupted employment relationship. On the other hand, there is a lasting disturbance when the parties have already tried all kinds of ways to repair the relationship but means such as coaching and/or mediation and talking things out amongst themselves all no longer serve any purpose. In that case a request for dissolution can be submitted on the so-called g-ground (article 7:669 paragraph 3 sub g BW). Prior to that request, however, it is required that it is first investigated (and demonstrated) that there are no more redeployment possibilities within the company.
