Employee participation

Employee participation

Employee participation goes beyond a request for advice or consent or the application of the Works Councils Act. The mutual relations between the works council and the director are often at least as important. The lawyers at Wieringa Advocaten assist both directors and works councils. With extensive expertise from both perspectives, we are able to provide quick and targeted services.
