Rights and obligations in the matrix organization

Fundamentals of company law and employment law for HR work

This training is held in German.
Do you work in a matrix structure, i.e. a work structure in which the individual team members report to several managers? Then you will be familiar with the challenges that can come with different levels of authority. Clearly defined responsibilities, transparency in decision-making and regulated responsibilities are just some of the points that are essential for a functioning matrix structure. This training provides you with a sound overview of the complex structures, what is important and how they can best be designed. In addition, you will learn about the special features of company, employment and data protection law in a matrix organization, which are indispensable in HR work. You will also be shown solutions for working with the works council, as the matrix structure has little in common with the classic "company concept" of the BetrVG - and the resulting challenges in the co-determination of works councils. With this knowledge, you will be able to minimize the liability risks for your company and work constructively with employee representatives.

Contents

  • Organizational science basics about a - possibly international/global - matrix organization.
  • The corporate law principles of the AG and GmbH for determining the person authorized to issue instructions in the matrix organization.

  • The employment relationship in the matrix organization.
  • Work performance under the direction of the matrix managers.
  • Rights and obligations of employees in matrix-related employment relationships.
  • Termination in the matrix group.
  • The challenge of the works constitution in matrix organizations.
  • Liability problems in matrix organizations.
  • Protection of employee data in matrix organizations.
