Employment Law

Employment law regulates individual and collective relations between employees and employers, working conditions, pay and rest rights, termination of employment contracts and related social security matters. Mandatory provisions and the principle of employee protection define the limits of contractual freedom.

The employment contract, payroll records, working hours, notice of termination and workplace records define the scope of the dispute. In employment disputes subject to mandatory pre-action mediation, the parties first apply to a mediator; if no settlement is reached, the labour court examines the claims and evidence.
