Workshop 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 introduces foreign managers to the basics
of German labour law. A lot of topics in every day working life
are governed by mandatory rules and regulations. However, there
is also room for flexibility stipulated by the law in favour of 
tariff and works agreements and of the individual contract. 
A large part of the seminar deals with the challenges supervisors 
face. This includes the subjects of discretionary rights, remote 
working and performance issues („ill“/ „will“ /„skill“).
You will also be familiarised with the role and the rights
and obligations of the works council („co-determination“).

Both our trainers are very experienced. They will answer your
questions comprehensively and give you practical advice.

Alternative date: November 18th 2025, 2pm – 4pm
Both online.
