The Works Constitution Act (BetrVG) confronts employers with a range of complex legal issues relating to information, consultation and co-determination rights. Our team of experts assists our clients not only in difficult special cases, but also in "daily business", be it in drafting works agreements or otherwise dealing with the co-determination rights of the works council.

KEY ISSUES



• Individual personnel measures, such as hiring, grouping, regrouping, transfer, §§ 99 -101 BetrVG
• Conducting hearings in the event of dismissals, § 102 BetrVG
• Drafting/negotiating works agreements in matters subject to co-determination pursuant to § 87 BetrVG and voluntary matters
• Spin-offs of parts of companies
• Transfers of undertakings within the meaning of § 613a BetrVG
• Support in negotiations on reconciliation of interests and social compensation plans, §§ 111, 112 BetrVG
• Participation as assessor or authorized representative in conciliation committee proceedings
• Legal representation in works constitution resolution proceedings, §§ 80 ff. of the Labor Court Act

We support you not only in hearings on recruitment, transfers and dismissals, but also in particular in the operational organization of wages and salaries and working hours. If an agreement cannot be reached between the employer and the works council, we also represent our clients' interests in conciliation committee proceedings or in court.
