Employee participation – innovative compensation systems

PrintMailRate-it
For companies aiming to achieve an attractive competitive position and encourage employee retention, employee participation through tailor-made and flexible compensation systems are crucial. Such models include, for example, employee profit or equity sharing plans, flexible working models or company-specific occupational pension schemes.
 
The Rödl & Partner experts provide advisory on the conception and implementation of employee compensation systems from a legal, tax and social security standpoint and on the associated effects on companies and employees at home and abroad. We assist you in staying on top of complex issues of national and international law and so help minimise the tax and social security risks arising from the use of compensation systems.
