Labour law in Germany

VON ZANTHIER & DACHOWSKI
Labour law
 

Labour law

Labour law is crucial for companies with employees as it forms the basis for all labour relations and processes. A good understanding of labour law enables employers and employees to build healthy relationships that are mutually beneficial. We provide comprehensive support in all aspects of employment law, from drafting employment contracts and advising on remuneration arrangements to protecting know-how, preparing and implementing dismissals and drafting complex works agreements.

Wen unterstützen wir?

Wir helfen Ihnen vor allem dann, wenn Sie mit den folgenden Herausforderungen zu tun haben:

  • Sie sind Arbeitgeber und benötigen Unterstützung bei der Erstellung neuer Arbeitsverträge, der Kündigung von Mitarbeitern oder der arbeitsrechtlichen Beratung bei Umstrukturierungen

  • Sie brauchen Unterstützung bei Streitigkeiten in Bezug auf Lohnforderungen oder andere arbeitsrechtliche Ansprüche der Arbeitnehmer

  • Sie benötigen anwaltliche Unterstützung in einem gerichtlichen Verfahren vor dem Arbeitsgericht

  • Sie planen, eine Erlaubnis zur Arbeitnehmerüberlassung in Deutschland zu beantragen und ausländische Arbeitnehmer nach Deutschland zu überlassen

How can we help?

We support our clients primarily in the following areas:

Employment contracts

Employment contracts are the basis of every labour relationship and define the rights and obligations of employers and employees. We offer comprehensive support in drafting, reviewing and adapting employment contracts (including bilingual contracts) to ensure that they are legally sound and tailored to your needs.

Protection against dismissal

Employee protection against dismissal is an essential component of labour law, particularly in Germany. We offer comprehensive advice on the statutory provisions on protection against dismissal, including the requirements for notice periods and grounds for dismissal as well as protective provisions for certain groups of employees. We support you in the proper execution of dismissals, including the drafting of letters of dismissal and compliance with all formal requirements. Should disputes or legal action arise in connection with dismissals, we will represent your interests in court.

Transfer of employees

With the increasing internationalisation of the world of work, it is becoming more and more important for companies to deploy employees abroad. We offer support for the transfer of employees to Germany or Poland to ensure that all legal requirements are met.

Temporary employment

Temporary employment, also known as temporary work or labour leasing, enables companies to react flexibly to staff shortages or special project requirements. In this process, employees are leased from a lender to a borrower for a certain period of time. Our law firm offers comprehensive advice, in particular for companies that wish to apply for a licence to supply temporary workers in Germany and subsequently need to draft and manage hiring contracts in a legally compliant manner in order to meet the requirements of German labour law. We also offer support for companies wishing to use temporary workers.

Collective agreements

Collective labour agreements are of great importance for companies, as they largely determine working conditions and wage structures. Our law firm offers comprehensive advice on collective agreements to ensure that your company is legally protected and that fair agreements are reached. We support you in the review, negotiation and interpretation of collective agreements and provide you with expert advice on all legal issues relating to collective agreements. With our expertise, we provide clarity and help to find individual solutions in collective bargaining law.
