In this podcast, Andre Appel and Jacqueline Piran, attorneys in the Ogletree Deakins Berlin office, discuss significant amendments to German employment laws, which recently took effect on August 1, 2022. As a result of these changes, German law requires employers to provide employees with written documentation of the key terms and conditions of their employers that the employer prints and signs with wet ink signatures. Accordingly, German employers cannot fulfill these obligations with digital employment contracts. Jacqueline and Andre examine the new rules and the various measures employers may want to take to comply.
