FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

When should an employer consult a lawyer about employment law?

It’s worth seeking legal assistance at the earliest possible stage – before a dispute or irregularities arise. We assist with drafting labor and management contracts, implementing employment changes, and managing internal processes. Early consultation significantly reduces risk, costs, and time.

What are the risks associated with improperly maintained employee records?

Missing or incorrect documentation—for example, in personnel files, contracts, or work time records—can result in sanctions from the National Labor Inspectorate (PIP), employee claims, or even employer liability. We help identify irregularities, organize documentation, and align HR practices with applicable regulations.

Can a company implement employee monitoring without their consent?

Yes, but only if the legal requirements set out in the Labor Code and the GDPR are met. Monitoring must have a legitimate purpose, be proportionate, and be properly documented. Employees must be informed of its scope and purpose – failing to do so could expose employers to violations and severe penalties.

How to prepare for employment restructuring during a merger or acquisition?

Employment restructuring in M&A processes requires an analysis of the employer’s obligations, consultation with employees or their representatives, and appropriate planning for the employee transition. Legal consultations with a law firm will help avoid mistakes and ensure compliance with labor law.

Do internal company policies need to be consulted with employees or unions?

Yes – within the scope defined by collective labor law. Documents such as work regulations, remuneration regulations, and collective bargaining agreements require consultation or agreement with employee representatives or trade unions. We conduct audits of HR documentation, identify deficiencies, and provide our clients with specific instructions on how to efficiently implement the required changes in accordance with applicable regulations and taking into account the employer’s existing expectations and practices.
