Works council elections: Simplified procedure – Electoral board training (two-day course)
Basics and practical exercises
Works council elections are prepared and conducted by an electoral board. In the so-called simplified (shortened) election procedure, there are numerous rules and deadlines to be observed. The success of the election depends on precise compliance with the procedural and formal requirements.
This training course will assist electoral board members in preparing for their duties. The course focuses on the statutory provisions of the Works Constitution Act and the Electoral Code, as well as questions of their practical implementation in the company. Participants will have time to practice each step during this two-day course.
After several years between elections, even “seasoned” electoral board members should brush up on their knowledge of recent labour court decisions and the provisions of the Works Constitution Act and the Electoral Code to avoid making mistakes.
