Back to Work After COVID-19: Key Considerations for Employers in Germany

We discuss the specific issues employers in Germany need to know when planning and implementing the resumption of operations following the easing of the lockdown restrictions in Germany. In this podcast, we provide practical guidance on appropriate and necessary measures employers should put in place to ensure the health and safety of their returning workforce. We also discuss specific legal issues employers will have to face when resuming operations, such as employers’ rights to make return contingent upon testing, and how to manage employees who refuse to return to work or adhere to safety policies.
