The “Employer of Record” model is increasingly becoming the focus of companies. In a series of articles in the magazine “Expertenforum Arbeitsrecht“, KPMG Law experts Stefan Middendorf and Gracjan Modrzyk examine the model with a focus on the issues of employee leasing and works council co-determination.
Because there is a growing shortage of skilled workers in Germany, companies are increasingly looking for employees abroad. This is also made possible by the spatial dissolution of work boundaries; nowadays, it is often sufficient for employees to be virtually integrated into the work organization. Particularly in the case of temporary labor requirements, companies are currently focusing on the “employer of record” business model as a new form of cross-border employee leasing.
But how is this construction to be classified against the background of the German Law on Temporary Employment and the Works Constitution Act? Part 1 of our series of articles deals with issues surrounding the law on temporary employment; part 2 of the articles on the “employer of record” model deals with the co-determination of the works council.
