German Works Council Involvement

Summary

In Germany, if a job requisition is opened with a work location in Germany, it falls under the co-determination of the German Works Council. The Works Council must be informed about new job openings, which includes providing details about the position and requirements. This is mandated by the Works Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz - BetrVG), specifically Sections 99 and 87, which require employers to inform and consult the Works Council about new job requisitions and cover co-determination rights in hiring policies. Non-compliance can lead to legal issues.
