The resilient design of employment law structures is the key to activating the company’s most important resource:
its staff
I have been helping to shape employment law at Kümmerlein for over 30 years – from its beginnings to its current market presence. I support employers of all sizes in setting up their HR structures in a legally future-proof manner – whether corporations, SMEs or public institutions. If you would like to rethink or adapt your HR structures,
I will be happy to assist you.
Dear Martin, what does our promise “To make it simple, but significant” mean to you?
“The tension between the social partners has led to a high and confusing level of regulation in employment law at national and European level. I see myself as a reliable and at the same time creative provider of ideas and implementer of well thought-out solutions that focus on the specific requirements of each client.”
Principles
Many years of experience and professional specialization make legally sound advice so self-evident that the extensive theoretical foundation does not have to be in the foreground.
Tailor-made solutions for the client require comprehensive familiarization with the client’s external industry and internal organizational environment. Only then does employment law come into play.
Sustainable solutions can only be established with good personal understanding in cooperation with representatives from all levels of a company or other organization.
Focusing on the essentials
The development of solutions that are precisely tailored to the client and at the same time legally sound, even under time pressure, requires a clear professional specialization.
The deployment of personnel at all levels, including the representative bodies in the network of relationships between controlling and dependent companies, has its very own organizational requirements.
Client-specific arrangements are essential, particularly with regard to remuneration structures and working time models.
This is where the social opponents clash particularly clearly. Solutions require openness, prudence and creative approaches, also in view of the pronounced legislative restraint in Germany in this area.
When it comes to balancing the differing interests of employees and employers, many years of experience and the resulting insight into underlying lines of conflict are often decisive.
With a growing awareness of the importance of employees, the labor law aspects of restructuring are no longer limited to traditional staff reductions. The focus is on qualification and flexibilization with situation-related use of employment law instruments.
