The dispute over the termination without notice of a former SAP works council chief has been settled.
Both parties had reached an out-of-court agreement, a spokesman for the Baden-Württemberg State Labor Court told the German Press Agency in Stuttgart on Wednesday.
A SAP spokesman confirmed on request that both parties had reached an agreement.
"Mutual silence has been agreed on the details," said the spokesman.
The labor court in Mannheim had dismissed an action for protection against unfair dismissal in December last year.
The plaintiff breached a contractual obligation through his conduct.
The fact that he manipulated data in a targeted manner and over a longer period of time resulted in a final loss of trust on the part of the employer.
Actually, an appeal date should have taken place before the regional labor court on Thursday, but this date is now omitted, the court spokesman said.
The software company had accused the former works council of falsifying or deleting internal works council documents – possibly to cover up for a works council colleague.
As head of the works council, he was asked to help clarify compliance proceedings against a colleague from the works council committee.
In the most recent works council election, the members of IG Metall were surprisingly able to prevail.
