3. Auflage 2009

Verlag: DJOEF

Buch, Englisch, 328 Seiten

The book covers revisions of the Standard Rules for Handling Industrial Disputes, the amended (2008) Labour Court Act, and other recent legislation, as well as the continuing necessity of implementing European rules by statutory law.

As in the earlier edition, the author expertly discusses the legally salient facets of contracts of employment, contracts for services, employee categories, remuneration and benefits, and much more.

This new edition of Labour Law in Denmark provides a clear overview of the field, and at the same time offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It provides advocates and administrators, management and labour, and especially students, with an overview of all aspects of Danish labour law, and, to some extent, of its social, economic and political context.
