July 5, 2022 by Katja Häferer, Dr. Lena M. Kern and Kerstin Schmiedel 7 Mins Read

The German Bundestag has passed a bill to implement the Working Conditions Directive (EU) 2019/1152, with the aim of creating more transparency and predictability of working conditions and to improve them overall. Previously, the bill had been heavily criticized by employers and associations, as well as legal literature – but without success. Now it is up to the German Bundesrat. If the Bundesrat does not have any objections, the new law will come into force as of 1 August 2022. Companies will then not have much time to implement the changes.
