Differences in labour law between Germany and the United Kingdom

This book provides a comprehensive comparison of German and UK labour law, focusing on the fundamental differences between the two systems. It looks at the structured security and comprehensive protection that German labour law offers employees and contrasts this with the more flexible, less regulated approach in the UK. Topics such as company takeovers, home office regulations, vocational training and much more are analysed in detail.

The reader is given an insight into the respective legal frameworks, the advantages and disadvantages of both systems and their impact on employee rights. This book is an indispensable reference work for anyone interested in the legal cultures of both countries and their consequences for the labour market. It also examines the consequences of Brexit.
