Topic of the week in „Der Betrieb“

Short time work: Boom due to the support of the „Konjunkturpaket II“

Short time work, a possibility to reduce labor costs, which has not been used fre-quently in the past, experiences a boom at present. Particularly, since this measure, which intends temporary relief of companies in times of economic crisis, is strongly supported by the federal government’s „Konjunkturpaket II“, more and more companies try to avoid precipitant layoffs by means of short time work.
In „Der Betrieb“, issue 17 p. 902 et seqq. Prof. Dr. Renate Dendorfer and Thomas Krebs give an overview over the tax-based, labor law and social law related require-ments for short time work and short time compensation. The federal government’s latest measures as well as the particularities of the temporary employment sector are taken into consideration.
