Employment and Social Security Law
This field covers contracts, working time, overtime, pay, notice and severance, reinstatement, workplace bullying, accidents and SGK disputes. On dismissal, written notice, cause and deadlines are critical. Mediation is often a precondition to a lawsuit. General information only; each employment relationship is reviewed on its records.
