With our new English-language Spotlight employment law series, we offer international HR professionals, in-house counsel and business leaders supporting German entities or employees based in Germany a concise introduction to key aspects of German employment law. In free online sessions of approximately 60 minutes, our experts address current employment law topics in a practical, business-focused format. Each session also provides space for exchange, discussion and questions in an interactive setting.

On 21th April 2026, we will continue the series with a session on bonus and benefits.

Dr Patrizia Chwalisz and Stefan Gatz, specialists in German employment law, will provide you with the essential tools to design remuneration systems that are legally compliant and strategically effective.

The session will cover in particular

• Hierarchy of Norms: How do the sources of law relate to one another?
• Compensation Structures: Designing base salaries, allowances, and performance-related remuneration
• Contractual Certainty: Leveraging design flexibility while ensuring compliance with pay transparency requirements
• Co-determination: The role of social partners and the participation rights of the works council

This Spotlight is designed for international HR professionals and decision-makers seeking a clear, practice-oriented overview of German compensation law and a deeper understanding of typical risk areas in bonus and remuneration schemes.
