Abstract
German constitutional law emphasises the duty of all public authorities to protect the family institution. German statutory employment law reflects this with two main aspects of family friendly rights: special protection against dismissals and leave entitlements. The German legislator has repeatedly confirmed that employees in special family-related circumstances shall not have to bear existential worries while having to cope with the family-related situation.
