Companies that come into Germany often search vendors, managers, business development or similar persons in order to obtain business in Germany will As recruiters in Germany specialized in helping foreign companies set up shop, we find here these companies often make the following mistakes.
1 Contracts of a German employed much prefer a German contract with a German company to law course, we often put candidates with foreign contracts, but it does much more difficult to hire the German candidate does not know what legal framework will apply on the other hand, the foreign company will often want its own legal framework to use, for example, the British law and wrote in the contract based on EU law, but no matter which jurisdiction is chosen, the German labor legislation can not be circumvented this can lead to a situation where the German worker sometimes unbeknownst to either party may choose labor laws it would like to use to interpret the contract and can use those who are most advantageous without the company employing having a say in the matter of care should therefore be taken at the beginning of the hiring proc ess to determine how to be designed and implemented a final employment contract so that we are a recruitment company in Germany, no legal counsel, call us for more information or if you need guidance on this topic .
2 car company when hiring a vendor, a business development manager, country manager or similar people, inevitably the question about a car arise While atypical in many countries, the company car has a long tradition in Germany Remember, Germany is undoubtedly a country car accordingly, we found that when recruiting in Germany, often the object of the company car, what kind of car, what configuring it so is a subject that requires more time in negotiating the package that the salary itself in Germany, the company car is definitely a status symbol and is vigorously therefore defended a car allowance, then accepted by some, is nevertheless one second to very low company car fully expensed also with the car of the company, it is expected that All the fuel is paid, including fuel for private journeys in particular, including holiday trips While German employee who receives a company car will have to pay taxes on it, taxes paid are far less than the cost of the car as such.
3 times vacation Surprising to many is the time of German holiday While in countries like the United States, early vacation pay is often only 10 working days, in Germany, the standard is 30 working days and with this we mean days of actual work 6 weeks total holiday Although German law requires a minimum of 20 days and some companies offer only 25 days, probably more than 90 of all companies offer the full 30 days that are become standard in addition to this, there are the usual public holidays in Germany, which total about 12 working days Often, however, especially in May these holidays fall on a Thursday so that Friday is considered good, make a weekend four-day -end offering much less pleasant holidays put you at a competitive disadvantage.
4 periods Note Many countries have quite short periods of notice, often only two weeks that your recruiters in Germany, we must warn you that the German notice periods tend to be much more to the legal minimum of 4 weeks usually before the end of each month, but often contractual notice period is longer, often being 3 months before the end of each month or 6 weeks before the end of each quarter This can prevent the rapid hiring and should be taken into account during his intention to enter the German market It may take more to get the right people it would be in other countries.
