Restatement Of Labour Law In Europe

The concept of 'employee' is arguably the most important one in labour law, defining, as it does, the scope of the discipline as a whole. This important new publication aims to develop a restatement of the concept of the employee in European labour law. The study identifies both problems and solutions that have emerged, clearly setting out comparisons between the different member states' approaches. The country reports explore both statutes and case law, tracking their contribution to legal doctrine. The objective of the restatement is to increase knowledge and gain a better understanding of one of the most crucial aspects of European labour law.

This book is part of a series which sets out a restatement of labour law in Europe. Its second volume looks at atypical employment relationships in Europe. Opening with a restatement, the book provides comparative commentary on the question of how fixed-term employment relationships, part-time employment relationships and temporary agency work is regulated by law in the individual states, which case law of the courts must be observed in this respect and which possibilities exist for shaping such relationships on the basis of collective bargaining agreements. The book goes on to systematically explore the national regulatory framework of: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. In this area, which is largely shaped by EU law in many countries, the commonalities and differences with regard to the relevant regulatory issues are examined. This important new project provides the definitive survey of labour law in Europe today.

The book is part of the project "Restatement of Labour Law in Europe", which aims to carve out the structures of national regulations and to identify similarities and differences in a Europe-wide view. The book brings together reports on dismissal law from 36 countries, including all Member States of the European Union. The relevant law is examined in full, with the reports following a uniform structure, which facilitates access. The book also provides a comparative overview. The similarities and differences identified are presented in a way that is easy for the reader to understand. The editor, Prof. Dr. Bernd Waas, is an internationally recognised expert in the field of comparative labour law. The contributions are written by renowned labour lawyers who have been working together in the European Labour Law Network for many years.

Restatement of Labour Law in Europe represents the first comprehensive and detailed analysis and comparison of dismissal protection law in 36 countries, including all the Member States of the European Union. Traditionally, the regulation of dismissal protection is at the very core of employment law. The rules that restrict the employer's power to unilaterally terminate the employment relationship are of great importance not only for academics, but also for social partners and practitioners. As a result of an ambitious scientific project carried out by the European Labour Law Network, composed by leading academics, the book represents a unique tool to find accurate and up-to-date information about dismissal regulation in 36 countries – covering issues that range from the grounds that justify dismissal, the procedural and formal requirements to the legal consequences of a lawful or unlawful dismissal – and make use of an extensive comparative overview of the common features that the involved countries present. This book aims to synthesise the findings, representing the legal core of dismissal protection in Europe.

Research Handbook on EU Labour Law features contributions from leading scholars in the field. Part I addresses cross-cutting themes, such as the relationship between EU law and national law, the role of human rights in EU labour law, and the impact of austerity measures. In Part II, the contributors focus on topics in individual and collective labour law at EU level, including working time and job security. Finally, Part III offers a comprehensive overview of the EU’s interventions in equality law.
