Deloitte Legal Webcast "Legal Update #5/2022"

Webcast in German language – feel free to contact any member of our team for explanations in English. 

In our first employment law webcast in 2022 of our Deloitte Legal Update webcast series, we address selected employment law issues currently relevant to employers with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic relaxations. In particular, we provide an update on the new SARS-CoV-2 Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, which is scheduled to take effect on March 21, 2022, on the current status of the home office and company hygiene regulations.

The starting signal for the election period of the works council has been given. These take place every 4 years, this year from March 1 to May 31, 2022. We highlight typical mistakes that should be avoided in the upcoming works council elections. In addition, we will look at selected current case law of the German labor courts that may be relevant for you in corporate practice.

Intended topics are:

• New regulations to combat the COVID-19 pandemic: what needs to be considered in the relaxation of infection protection?
  • New version of the SARS-CoV-2 occupational health and safety regulation (verion 21.3.-25.5.2022)
  • Expiration of § 28 b IfSG and the Corona-ArbSchVO
