Fixed-term - part-time - parental leave

Keeping an eye on the current legal situation and acting with legal certainty

This training is held in German.
Case law sets new requirements for (chain) fixed-term contracts in the case of permanent replacement requirements; the extension of fixed-term contracts remains risky. The first labor court rulings have been issued on the "bridge part-time" introduced on 1.1.2019. Dealing with part-time applications from employees is prone to errors. The requirements for taking parental leave and for part-time employment during parental leave have significant implications for employers. Update your specialist knowledge on a daily basis.
