Labor law
In employment law in particular, many promising cases often fail because deadlines or formal requirements are not observed. It is therefore advisable to consult a lawyer who is familiar with this area and its extensive case law at an early stage.
Before the start of an employment relationship
The following questions are particularly relevant for the employer:
- Advertisement and personnel selection
- Type of employment relationship (permanent, fixed-term, mini-job)
- Drafting the employment contract
- Rescission due to fraudulent misrepresentation
The following are decisive for the employee:
- Behavior during application and interview
- The right to give an untrue answer to questions an employer is not entitled to ask.
- Drafting and reviewing the employment contract
During the employment relationship
- Correct assessment of remuneration
- Subsequent changes to working conditions
- Scope of the employer’s right to instruct
- Works council involvement
Upon termination of an employment relationship
For the employer, the following questions arise in particular:
- Can a particular employee be dismissed?
- What must be observed in terms of form and content when giving notice?
For the employee:
- Is a notice of termination effective?
- How and within what deadlines can you defend yourself against a termination?
