Employment and Labor in Germany
More than 55,000 foreign companies are currently operating in Germany, employing about three million people. The labor market in Germany is comparatively flexible, but the high standard of employee protection sets limitations. While Germany’s highly qualified labor force offers foreign employers good conditions for recruitment and employment, this high standard is also expensive. Generous remuneration and the additional social security contributions amount to relatively high employment costs.
The S·K· Guide to Employment and Labor in Germany gives a useful overview on the labor law and on what needs to be considered when starting a employment relation in Germany, also with regard to the employment regulations in Germany, the labor costs and payroll procedure. By providing general background information, this booklet will serve as reference guide.
