New to German Employment and Labor Law? |
German employment and labour law is not a closed book, although at some times it might appear as pretty much confusing. Yes, you will have to have the right access in order to answer your questions like these ones:
Labour law is pretty young as an independant discipline within German private law existing as such only since 1949. There is no "German Labour Law Book" although this would make it much easier for all those who have to work with labour law. However, there is written law with more than 50 different acts and legal ordinances on one hand side and there is case law, ruled by different levels of labour courts. In addition to this, also legislation of the European Union and of the European Court of Jutice have a huge impact on labour law in Europe. Collective labor law (industrial relations) is applicable if there is a works council ("Betriebsrat"), the workers' representation, at the establishment.
For German people this is just "regular stuff", however, for people from abroad this could create a kind of culture shock. Thus, let's talk about German labor law and how it applies to your situation. |
