Employment & professions
Betriebsrat
Works council
Elected by the staff, and far more than consultative: an employer must have its agreement on working hours, overtime and monitoring, and must hear it before any dismissal — a dismissal made without that is void.
What it does
- Codetermination on workplace decisions
- Workplace representation
