Entlässt der Arbeitgeber den Arbeitnehmer fristlos ohne wichtigen Grund, so hat dieser Anspruch auf Ersatz dessen, was er verdient hätte, wenn das Arbeitsverhältnis unter Einhaltung der Kündigungsfrist oder durch Ablauf der bestimmten Vertragszeit beendigt worden wäre.
Der Arbeitnehmer muss sich daran anrechnen lassen, was er infolge der Beendigung des Arbeitsverhältnisses erspart hat und was er durch anderweitige Arbeit verdient oder zu verdienen absichtlich unterlassen hat.
Der Richter kann den Arbeitgeber verpflichten, dem Arbeitnehmer eine Entschädigung zu bezahlen, die er nach freiem Ermessen unter Würdigung aller Umstände festlegt; diese Entschädigung darf jedoch den Lohn des Arbeitnehmers für sechs Monate nicht übersteigen.

Tax Office Head Summary Termination Validity
This provision, concerning the declaration of extraordinary termination, is implicitly relevant given the application of Art. 337 OR and the context, although its explicit role in the dispositive needs confirmation. (Note: Since the final orders/dispositive section is not explicitly provided, the extraction is based on the cited 'Rechtsnormen' section, prioritizing those related to the core subject matter confirmed in the summary, which are Art. 337 OR and § 22 PG. Art. 337c OR is the rule governing the timeliness of the declaration, which was discussed in the reasoning.)
