training
This training is held in German.
Part-time and fixed-term contracts are among the most contentious and case law-intensive issues in public employment and collective bargaining law. Fixed-term employment contracts are playing an increasingly important role. Their extension remains risky. The legal situation is sometimes confusing and difficult to understand, especially when it comes to the permissibility and effectiveness of fixed-term agreements. This training provides answers to the most important practical questions and provides a clear overview of the provisions of the TzBfG and current legal developments.
