Employee recruitment, on the employer's side, or of job
seeking, on the employee's side, is a phase during which legal interactions
between the potential employer and the potential employee abound. In this
preliminary stage, when a contract of employment has not yet been signed, the
interactions between the parties are largely unregulated by the labor and
employment laws. Nevertheless, the parties are not wholly unprotected by law
from misconducts of the other party. Both employers and job seekers are facing
difficult dilemmas: is it legal to perform a certain checkup or test during the
stages of recruitment? What questions are not to be asked during a job
interview? In which situations can a refusal to hire an employee be construed
as discriminatory?
Our office provides legal consultation to employers and employees who ask
themselves these questions, as well as consultation for other legal issues that
employers and job seekers often face during the screening process.
Additionally, our office represents employers and employees in legal disputes
arising during recruitment and job seeking.
Our office provides legal consulting services in the
field of employment contracts. A contract of employment between the employer
and the employee is the most important legal tool for both employers and
employees. Many laws are enforced on employers and employees, regardless of any
contract of employment (binding legislation). In order to protect their legal
rights, both parties (employer and employee) should ensure that the contract of
employment covers all issues that might become relevant during, or after the
termination of employment relations. The contract of employment is to be signed
by the parties before the beginning of the employment, or on the first day of
employment, at the latest.
