Distance learning labor law (practical knowledge)

Legal knowledge, especially in employment law, is more important today than ever before. Employment contracts, changes in work tasks, transfers or dismissals must be regulated in accordance with the law in order to prevent legal disputes.

Employers and trainers, as well as employees in the human resources departments of companies and enterprises, need detailed knowledge of labor law regulations in order to take the right measures at the right time in the event of disagreements and imminent operational changes. This is the only way to avoid time-consuming and cost-intensive disputes, which can also put a strain on the working atmosphere and the relationship with the employees concerned.

Not only people in management functions, but also employees, especially if they are active as works councils or staff councils, need up-to-date knowledge of works constitution and collective bargaining law. Employees are increasingly looking for well-founded information about their rights and obligations as well as the possibilities of their employer to entrust them with more activities at different places of work.

The rights and obligations of the parties to the employment contract, which arise from the law, the collective agreement and the individual employment contract, are explained and dealt with in detail.

Questions regarding continued payment of wages, vacation law (including educational leave) or youth protection are also addressed, as well as the possibilities of terminating the employment relationship. In this context, the regulations of the Dismissal Protection Act, the regulations on the special protection against dismissal of expectant mothers, employees on parental leave, people with disabilities as well as works councils are presented and the possibility of concluding termination agreements as well as their necessary content are discussed.

The comprehensive participation and co-determination rights of works or staff councils, the position of works council members, and the possibilities of dispute resolution between employers and works/staff councils are highlighted and discussed, as are the special features of the vocational training relationship, as well as questions regarding the employment of young people and the protective laws that must be observed.
