The statutory minimum hourly wage changes every six months. What are the new amounts as of 1 January 2026?
The new Labour Supply Act (Wtta) imposes stricter requirements on temporary employment agencies, payroll companies and secondment agencies. But the Wtta also has major consequences for companies that use their services. What does this mean for their personnel policy and administration?
Employees have a right to privacy in their private lives. This also applies to sick employees. However, they must also comply with their reintegration obligations and provide accurate information about their illness. What options does the employer have to check whether they are actually doing this?

Many companies do not have a works council, even though they should. When is it mandatory to establish one? What are the advantages of a works council? What are the consequences if your company does not have a works council?
