Arbeitsrechtliche Unterschiede zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich
German, Klaus Degenhardt, Marie Levallois, 2024Free shipping starting at 50.–
Labor law in Germany and France exhibits significant differences that affect both employees and employers. In Germany, labor law is heavily influenced by the principles of the welfare state. It places particular emphasis on the protection of employees, especially through comprehensive co-determination rights of works councils and strict regulations on dismissals. The Employment Protection Act ensures that employees can only be terminated under specific conditions, providing a high level of job security. Additionally, collective agreements are widespread in Germany and offer further protective mechanisms. In contrast, French labor law is more centralized and state-directed. The Code du Travail regulates many aspects of working life and includes strict provisions, for example, regarding working hours and the minimum wage. French labor law is characterized by a high degree of state intervention, which is reflected in the traditionally significant role of trade unions and labor struggles. Regulations regarding employee dismissals are also strict but, compared to Germany, more flexible, particularly following labor law reforms under President Macron. These differences in labor law reflect the distinct historical, social, and political developments of both countries. While in Germany the principle of social partnership and decentralization is paramount, French labor law is marked by strong state regulation and centralism. Understanding these differences is essential for companies and professionals operating in both countries to correctly meet the respective labor law requirements and avoid conflicts.
