Operational changes

Operational changes are a part of collective employment law. They are among issues to be co-decided by the works council in the co-determination system and often play a role in business acquisition, reorganisation and restructuring. Unprofessional operational changes might entail substantial costs and seriously affect the timing of working processes. Thus, it is important to prepare such changes appropriately in advance and with the help of sufficiently experienced legal advisers.
