unkündbar (strong nominative masculine singular unkündbarer, not comparable)

  1. (of a contract) uncancellable, non-terminable, permanent
  2. (of an employee) incapable of being dismissed

Usage notes

[edit]
  • In sense 2, it generally refers to what German law calls ordentliche Kündigung (dismission with notice), which under the existing labour laws is impossible, or virtually impossible, under certain circumstances. Fristlose Kündigung (dismission without notice) in cases of severe misconduct is always possible.
