Employment law
As  a busy HR practitioner, you will probably need special help in keeping pace with changing legal requirements in Europe's 40+ countries. But who can spare the time to compile their own database of statutory obligations, or plough through mounting volumes of legislation, case law and specialist legal commentary?
Employment Law Programme: FedEE exists to provide you with the cost-effective legal support you need. Getting up to speed on key aspects of employment law in a particular country no longer means taking time off to attend old-style conferences or seminars. We have secured the services of top international employment lawyers to provide webcasts on a 24/7 basis covering subjects such as employment contracts, employee participation, working time, equal opportunities and employee dismissal. Here we provide a typical presentation from the programme. This may be viewed with broadband or any similar fast internet connection. Please view our list of current and planned presentations in the programme.
European HR knowledgebase: Whether you need to find out the statutory trial period for a new employee in Belgium or the normal working week for an employee operating on a two-shift system in the Czech Republic, the information is at your fingertips in our European HR knowledgebase. With a variety of search and browse methods to drill down to the precise information you need, the knowledgebase offers a comprehensive resource on HR practice and employment law across Europe.
Starting point: Those interested in European employment or labour laws should begin with treaties, conventions and constitutions applicable to key countries in the region. A significant body of EU
and international law has evolved over the last sixty years and European labour law is now a highly complex field embracing concepts such as 'indirect effect' and incorporating many human rights principles. In this introductory section you will also find useful sources of information on important EU policy concerns such as proof of employment and business transfers, together with links to the full texts of selected national labour laws in English, the text of the Equal Treatment Directive 2002, and extracts from the EU Treaty.
