Content
Are you unsure about your employment rights in Germany? Are you already working while pursuing your degree or doctorate and have some specific questions about it? In our new lunch-talk format, we’ll start with a brief overview about general terms from the employment rights and then give you plenty of time to ask your individual questions about employment law, contracts or critical experiences.
The first session will focus on working time regulations, including:
- breaks during the working day and rest periods between shifts
- weekly working hours and daily maximum working hours
- working time recording and trust-based working time
Various representatives and experts will answer your questions in this English-langauge online session.
