Employment Law & Personnel

If you employ staff, you have a lot to deal with. Various employment contracts, part-time and pension schemes, employment contracts, dismissal procedures and absenteeism due to illness. In short: many things to take into account. This is even more true if you also employ staff in Germany.

Our team of employment law and HR specialists is familiar with both Dutch and German employment law and is fully bilingual. This unique combination makes it possible to explain the differences to you in detail and to fully guide you on the German labor market.

Labor law

Many employment law matters are regulated slightly differently in Germany than in the Netherlands.

Matters such as probationary period, vacation days, continued payment during illness and dismissal protection differ significantly from Dutch employment law. Whatever question you have and whatever assistance you require, you can rely on the experienced specialists of Heisterborg International. You can contact us for, among other things:

advice on hiring and deploying staff
advice on and drafting employment contracts, self-employed persons contracts and management agreements
advice on reorganizations, restructurings and restructuring
individual and collective dismissal
illness and reintegration
advice on the employment law aspects of mergers and acquisitions
advice on cross-border work in Germany

HR

Heisterborg International as your external HR department

If you are going to do business abroad, you want to do exactly that: doing business. If you are going to deploy or hire staff, you do not want to have to deal with German employment law, social security, tax matters and payroll administration.

Did you know that you can also use Heisterborg International as your external HR department? We will then take care of everything in the field of HR and personnel for you. From answering questions from staff, salary negotiations and drawing up employment contracts to registering staff and payroll administration : you don’t have to worry about it.

Once everything is in place? Then it is up to you whether you want to continue to outsource this care completely, or whether you want to gradually carry out matters independently and keep Heisterborg International ‘only’ as an advisor.

Full service office

What else can we help you with?

You can contact us with all your questions about doing business in Germany. From complex legal or tax issues to questions about cultural differences. But it doesn’t stop at advice alone, we ensure that you can do business successfully and without worries in Germany. We go further than other offices, because we can also take care of many practical matters for you.

“There are major differences in payroll administration and payroll taxes between the Netherlands and Germany. We are happy to take over these tasks from you.”
