Dear Madam or Sir,
our first Newsletter in 2017 takes a close look at the reform of the Temporary Agency Workers Act, which is extremely relevant in legal practice. The amended act will enter into force and effect on 1 April 2017.
Another contribution concerns a decision by the Hamm Higher Labour Court, which sets out the requirements for a valid signature on a letter of reference. In addition, we address the Cologne Higher Labour Court's acceptance of the imposition of a EUR 40 penalty for late payment of wages and salaries. Finally, in the contribution "Drugged Driving - Dismissal of a Truck Driver for the Use of Drugs", we elaborate a recent decision of the Sixth Senate of the Federal Labour Court.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us!
Best regards
Your GÖRG Labour and Employment Team
