About Byte Framehub
Employment context, explained with care
We help internationally mobile and English-speaking employees understand the shape of probation in a German workplace—without pretending every difficult conversation is a lawsuit.
Why this practice exists
Byte Framehub began after repeated conversations with people who could perform their jobs but could not read the signals around a German Probezeit. A short notice clause, an absent review date, direct managerial language and unfamiliar HR routines often arrived as one confusing problem. Our work is to separate those strands and prepare a sensible next action.
Who works with you
Sessions are led by Mara Feld, an employment-process consultant with experience supporting international hires, onboarding teams and employee-relations conversations in Berlin organisations. Her background includes workplace mediation training and years of reviewing German–English employment documentation with HR specialists. She is not a Rechtsanwältin and does not present the service as legal advice.
How we work
We start with dates and documents, then listen for the practical question underneath the anxiety. A useful answer might be a manager agenda, a list of clauses to ask a lawyer about, or confirmation that a routine process is being mistaken for a final decision. We name uncertainty instead of smoothing it over.
Privacy matters because employment situations are personal. We ask clients to redact irrelevant identifiers, collect only what a session needs, and delete consultation documents on the retention schedule described in our privacy notice.
Our boundaries are part of the service
We do not contact employers, promise job retention, assess visa status, or represent clients before courts. When dismissal protection, discrimination, pregnancy, disability, works-council rights or an urgent filing period may change the route, we advise the client to seek specialised legal or representative support.
Our Berlin office provides an in-person option; remote sessions are available across Germany. English is the working language, while key contract terms remain in German so a client can recognise them on the page.
