Randls HR News No. 4/2021

This early autumn issue of Randls HR News has been focused on what the amendment to the Sickness Insurance Act will mean for employers. Although at first glance the changes might seem to be of a formal nature only, we believe they may affect the HR practice quite significantly. You will see for yourself. We also focused on a project introduced by the Labour Office called FLEXI Programme, the brief description of which has probably landed in your employers’ data box in recent days. We elaborated and explained the individual options the FLEXI Programme offers. Last but not least, we addressed a ruling of the EU Court of Justice on the issue of working hours and rest periods. It is really very interesting and could influence a big part of the HR practice.
