COVID-19: Reduction of working hours, pay cuts and employment issues in Germany – Short-Time Work and other measures German employers can take to react to the current crisis

In our webinar we will answer the most important questions about the reduction of working hours and continued pay in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, which most companies are currently facing. This includes an overview over the possibilities of implementation of Short-Time work, probably the most important instrument for reducing personnel costs in the very short term. In addition, we will deal with questions concerning (un-) paid leave, pay cuts, vacation arrangements, alternative work options such as working from home and what happens if the authorities order quarantine or activity bans or employees are unable to work because they have to take care of their children.

This course is designed primarily for attorneys, human resources professionals, and executives, including in-house counsel, general counsel, and board members. We certify attendance for submission to bar associations or employers.
