LABOUR LAW
As part of our comprehensive legal services, labour law plays a central role in our law firm. When drawing up and drafting employment contracts and model contracts, we consistently ensure that our clients' interests are implemented in a legally secure and practical manner.
In addition to providing preventative advice on labour law, we also represent our clients before the competent courts. In doing so, we accompany them through all phases of labour law proceedings in a committed and solution-oriented manner.
We have summarised the main focuses of our work in employment law for you below.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
The employment contract forms the basis of every employment relationship and regulates the central rights and obligations of employees and employers. In particular, the focus is on topics such as remuneration, holiday entitlements, continued payment of remuneration in the event of illness, social security contributions and company pension schemes. In addition, questions of liability, possible claims for damages and other aspects relevant to labour law are also considered.
Regardless of whether an employment contract is concluded verbally or in writing, it usually includes clear agreements on the work to be performed, the start of the employment relationship, the place of work and the scope and distribution of working hours.
We support our clients in the legally compliant drafting, review and amendment of employment contracts and ensure that individual interests and legal requirements are taken into account in equal measure.
WARNING & NOTICE
A warning or dismissal often represents a profound upheaval for those affected and their families. In this situation, it is particularly important to carefully examine legal options and make the right decisions.
Your own cancellation should also always be well thought out. If a notice of termination is issued or received, it is first necessary to clarify which objectives are being pursued and which legal steps are appropriate to achieve them.
Depending on the individual situation, the aim may be to secure the existing job and continue the employment relationship. In other cases, the focus is on negotiating an appropriate - preferably high - severance payment or an amicable solution.
We support our clients in this sensitive phase with experience, foresight and clear strategic advice and consistently represent their interests both out of court and in court.
TERMINATION AGREEMENT
A termination agreement enables employers and employees to terminate an existing employment relationship by mutual agreement. The termination often takes place against payment of a severance payment, the amount of which is generally freely negotiable and not tied to fixed statutory upper limits or monthly earnings.
Which severance payment is appropriate in each individual case depends largely on the respective negotiating positions and the individual starting situation. In practice, the prospects of success of a possible action for unfair dismissal and the personal and economic consequences of terminating the employment relationship play a particularly important role.
We advise and support our clients in the review, drafting and negotiation of termination agreements with the aim of minimising legal risks and achieving economically convincing solutions.
