The textbook and casebook covers the exam-relevant and practical topics of individual and collective labor law. The central legal aspects in the phases of application, employment, and termination are explained using relevant legal norms and case law, along with practical examples. At the end of each chapter, there are checklists and test questions to help reinforce the material in a comprehensive manner. The 6th edition maintains the proven concept of combining a textbook with a casebook. The new edition also addresses current developments in labor law, such as the increase in the minimum wage, gender-equitable pay, electronic sick leave certificates, and the use of artificial intelligence in HR work.
