„Breach of employment contract“

The offence of “breach of employment contract” was introduced in 1933 to control German workers. It was intended to enable employers to control and discipline their workers in the event of alleged misconduct. From 1939, the term was also used as a collective term to prosecute forced labourers for offences such as obstructive or insubordinate behaviour, such as attempting to escape, arriving late for work or staying away from work.
