New realities in the world of work must be taken into account – modernisation of employment protection law
There have been numerous articles on employment law over the ten years of the *Deutscher AnwaltSpiegel*’s existence. These not only highlighted the topics that were and remain the subject of academic discussion, but also revealed the challenges faced in day-to-day business practice.
These continue to include issues relating to the termination of employment, whether by way of dismissal, the expiry of a fixed-term contract, or in connection with organisational changes. Practising lawyers recognise that long-established sources of law no longer cover the full reality of employment relationships. In the field of protection against unfair dismissal, these include not only the ongoing flexibilisation of working arrangements – such as matrix organisations – but also issues now being raised by the legislator through an amendment to the German Banking Act (!).
This provides grounds for taking up the debate on modernising employment protection law.
