Wirlitsch Law Firm \u2013 Specialist lawyers for labor law.\">\n\n\n\n  <h1>Kollektivarbeitsrecht<\/h1>\n  <p>We advise on restructuring and job cuts in negotiations on reconciliation of interests and social plans. We draft works and staff council agreements and represent these effectively in conciliation committees and arbitration proceedings. On request, we also set up conciliation committees with the help of the labor and administrative courts.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Works agreements and service agreements<\/h2>\n  <p>Good works agreements and service agreements require knowledge of collective labor law, working time law, and related areas of law. We provide support in formulating specific provisions, thereby protecting against challenges. We also offer advice on the content of the agreement and its legal enforcement.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Transfer of undertakings, personnel adjustment measures, outsourcing<\/h2>\n  <p>When outsourcing and implementing personnel adjustment measures, the protection of employee rights should be ensured. We provide support in drawing up social plans, setting up transfer companies, and negotiating employment guarantees.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Operational changes<\/h2>\n  <p>Operational changes can have a major impact on a company's workforce. Therefore, the employer's notification obligations and the works council's co-determination rights must be carefully examined. We offer support in reconciling interests and also in enforcing the rights of the works council in court.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Reconciliation of interests \/ social plans<\/h2>\n  <p>A legal review of social plan provisions is often helpful, e.g., when it comes to the distribution criteria for severance payments or consideration of the company's economic situation. We assist in the preparation of social plans and reconciliations of interests, in the development of a negotiation strategy, or provide support in conciliation proceedings and in court.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Voluntary agreement<\/h2>\n  <p>We help with legally compliant wording and advise on revocation options and their limitations. We show you models for designing voluntary severance programs, review tax and social security aspects, and support you in negotiations with the employer.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Conciliation committee<\/h2>\n  <p>Let us prepare and accompany the conciliation committee proceedings so that your interests are protected. We provide support in conducting negotiations, draft applications, and ensure that the proceedings are conducted in accordance with the law and that the conciliation committee's decision is lawful.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Right of co-determination<\/h2>\n  <p>We help you enforce your rights of co-determination in economic matters or individual personnel measures. If consent is refused, we offer you legal protection and represent you in disputes before arbitration boards and labor courts.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Right to information<\/h2>\n  <p>The works council has a right to information from the employer. We check the completeness of the information provided and help in cases of information deficits on the part of the employer by formulating requests for information. We also support you in enforcing your rights to information in court.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Company agreement on working hours<\/h2>\n  <p>Overtime and extra work, flexitime and core working hours, breaks and rest periods\u2014all of these should be regulated and comply with legal requirements. We would be happy to advise you on the design of working time models in accordance with legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Service agreement on working hours<\/h2>\n  <p>Working hours and on-call times must also be regulated in the public sector. Collective bargaining agreements and, in some cases, civil service law must be taken into account. We would be happy to advise you on the design of the service agreement or support you in negotiations with the management.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Seminars for works councils<\/h2>\n  <p>Learn the basics of the Works Constitution Act in our seminars, or deepen your knowledge of conflict resolution and negotiation. Information is also provided on current case law on data protection, working time law, and protection against dismissal.<\/p>\n\n  <h2>Seminars for staff councils<\/h2>\n  <p>In our seminars, staff councils learn the basics and current case law in staff representation law. The seminars cover both the special features of civil service law and strategies and techniques for negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1823959 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1823959\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Block 1: LocalBusiness \/ LegalService -->\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": [\"LegalService\",\"LocalBusiness\"],\n  \"name\": \"Wirlitsch \u2013 Kanzlei f\u00fcr Arbeitsrecht\",\n  \"image\": \"https:\/\/wirlitsch-arbeitsrecht.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image1-scaled.webp\",\n  \"logo\": \"https:\/\/wirlitsch-arbeitsrecht.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/cropped-Logo_Kanzlei-Wirlitsch_RGB-8.png\",\n  \"url\": \"https:\/\/wirlitsch-arbeitsrecht.de\/\",\n  \"telephone\": \"+49 7531 13160\",\n  \"email\": \"&#x6b;&#97;&#x6e;&#x7a;&#108;&#x65;&#x69;&#64;&#x77;&#x69;&#114;&#x6c;&#x69;t&#x73;&#x63;h&#x2d;&#97;r&#x62;&#101;i&#x74;&#115;r&#x65;&#99;h&#x74;&#46;d&#x65;\",\n  \"priceRange\": \"Auf Anfrage\",\n  \"founder\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Person\",\n    \"name\": \"Michael D.
