Introduction to working time regulations
Seminarinhalte
Laws, collective agreements and works agreements form the basic framework for the organisation of working time within a company. The core subject of this seminar is therefore the legislation regarding working time as well as occupational health and safety regulations that affect the organisation of working time at the company. We will examine the connection between these regulations and operational requirements, paying special attention to the interests of workers.
You will acquire basic legal knowledge on the subject of working time. Terminology (e. g. breaks, rest periods, overtime) will be explained, as will the options available to employee representatives. This will provide orientation and give you confidence in assessing your legal options as well as enable you to actively use legal instruments when company working time regulations are being introduced and implemented.
