Further training in the public sector: Fit for labor and collective bargaining law in the public sector

Getting started made easy: TVöD/TV-L basics

 

 

Start with a sound overview: The five-day training course "TVöD/TV-L for newcomers" offers you a structured and practical introduction to collective bargaining law - with the opportunity to obtain a certificate afterwards. The course covers labor and collective bargaining law issues and regulations so that you as an HR employee can solve individual cases with legal certainty.

 

Do you want to evaluate and classify jobs correctly? Then the one-day basic seminar "Job evaluation and grouping according to TVöD" is ideal for you. With your subsequent attendance of the advanced seminar "Job evaluation and grouping according to TVöD" you will gain even more confidence for your professional practice by dealing with specific case studies.

 

There is a separate format for the TV-L: "Job evaluation and grouping according to TV-L" explains the special features in a compact format.

 

Understanding the remuneration system and billing correctly: In the two-day basic seminar "The pay system of the TVöD/TV-L" you will learn everything you need to know about table pay, bonuses, supplements and annual bonuses - including the latest case law. The perfect supplement: "Payroll Accounting TVöD/TV-L compact" (3 days). Here you will gain the necessary knowledge for correct payroll accounting in a systematic and practical way.

 

 

TVöD/TV-L in practice: updates for advanced users

 

 

Experienced practitioners will find in the topic block "TVöD/TV-L special knowledge" in-depth knowledge of TVöD/TV-L collective bargaining law. You will benefit from the trainers' many years of tried-and-tested expertise.

 

If you want to bring yourself up to date with the latest legal requirements quickly and effectively, the one-day "Year-end conference TVöD/TV-L" is ideal for you. This update provides you with a compact overview of all current developments and the latest case law in the area of TVöD/TV-L.

 

 

Specialist knowledge for HR employees

 

 

Social change and the associated shortage of skilled workers are also making themselves felt in HR departments in the public sector. There is an urgent need for new ways of recruiting and retaining employees, which you can use in training "I Want You: Attracting employees for public administration".

 

The one-day training course "Maternity protection - parental leave - care leave in the TVöD/TV-L" focuses on the reform of the Maternity Protection Act and the current regulations on parental leave. This training enables you to handle absences correctly with regard to the complex collective bargaining regulations and legal requirements.

 

Part-time regulations and fixed-term contracts in the public sector are often the subject of disputes before the labor court. The training "Part-time work and fixed-term contracts in the TVöD/TV-L" will give you an overview of the latest legal developments so that you can then act correctly and with legal certainty.
