Employment and Labour Laws Newsletter: International Trends and Current Legal Developments

Baker Tilly’s international Employment Law Practice Group has released the first edition of its new Employment and Labour Laws Newsletter. This edition highlights how dynamically employment law is evolving worldwide and which trends companies with an international workforce should particularly pay attention to. 

Experts from eight countries provide a concise overview of key developments. These include a comparative European analysis of the legal requirements for restructurings in Germany, Spain, France, Belgium and the United Kingdom – covering social selection criteria, consultation obligations, severance regimes and procedural risks. 

The newsletter also examines the growing significance of Employer of Record models and illustrates, using examples from Germany, Spain, Belgium, Austria, Norway and the Netherlands, why identical structures may be assessed very differently depending on the jurisdiction – in some cases even qualifying as unlawful employee leasing. 

Another key topic is two recent decisions from France that have immediate practical implications: paid leave days must now be included when calculating overtime, and annual leave must be rescheduled if it overlaps with sickness-related absence. 

The edition is rounded off with a practiceoriented overview of essential employment and immigration law requirements that international companies need to consider when entering the UK market.
