Introduction to labour law: Establishment of the employment relationship

Statutory employee representation bodies are confronted with a multitude of legal problems and tasks in their everyday work. The work in a statutory interest representation therefore requires basic knowledge of the contents of the relevant laws and the case law issued on them, as well as how to deal with them. However, with the multitude of laws, it is often difficult to find one's way around and to keep an overview.

In this training basic knowledge about the structures of the multi-layered labour law system is first conveyed and basic labour law terms are clarified. This is followed by a discussion of the legal problems that can arise in connection with the initiation, establishment and continuation of an employment relationship (rights and duties).

In addition, the respective participation rights of the statutory interest representation are presented.
