Introduction to German Labour Law

Individual Labour Law – Collective Labour Law
“Challenges you face as a supervisor”

Labour law in Germany is rather different from the labour law in other countries, especially in the UK, the United States and in Asia. The seminar gives an overview of German labour law regarding topics which arise in everyday working life. It starts with some of the essential mandatory rules and regulations and the interaction with tariff agreements and works agreements as well as the individual contract. A large part of the seminar deals with the challenges supervisors face. Included are the subjects of discretionary rights, remote working and performance issues („ill“/ „will“ /„skill“).

In the last part of the seminar, participants will be familiarised with the role and also with the rights and obligations of the works council („co-determination“).
Our experienced trainers will answer your questions comprehensively and give you practical advice.
