The book provides practical insights into the many specifics that must be considered to legally hire employees in France, terminate employment contracts, or send employees to or from France. The authors, both experts in German-French labor law, explain the unique features of the French human resources system and demonstrate how to manage risks in HR management and avoid unnecessary costs. Clearly and understandably, the work describes all essential aspects of labor law practice, from hiring the first employee to social security and tax issues, as well as dealing with works councils and trade unions, up to the termination of employment relationships through dismissal or mutual termination agreements, including the various formal specifics involved.
