Flagship program
Labor Compliance Foundations
A structured path for managers and people ops who need employment consultation literacy while hiring across Germany.
You will practice reading contracts for operational risk, mapping working-time ownership, and preparing counsel briefs that do not waste billable hours.
Learning outcomes
- Spot when a fixed-term clause needs counsel review versus an internal template fix.
- Build a working-time and leave tracker that managers will actually update.
- Draft an escalation card that separates HR process from legal representation.
- Prepare a clean brief for works council or attorney conversations.

Participant notes
Module three’s overtime narrative exercise exposed gaps in our field-team timesheets. We still needed counsel for a specific exemption question—the course flagged that limit clearly.
Strong on documentation. The works council segment is an introduction, not a negotiation masterclass.
