Labor and Employment Law

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.
