10 Pitfalls in German employment law #12

Planning a vacation? So are your employees – and in Germany, they’re legally entitled to it. But PTO in Germany goes far beyond the statutory minimum. From special leave entitlements to cultural expectations, the German PTO landscape can be a legal maze for international employers.

Join us for a compact and practical webinar where we break down the core aspects of paid time off under German labor law. Learn what makes the German approach unique, what obligations you need to be aware of, and how to stay compliant while managing employee expectations.
