Equal Treatment Principle

Under German law, licensed Employer of Record (EOR) providers are mandated to uphold the principle of equal treatment for temporary workers. This means that individuals engaged through those arrangements must be afforded the same or better working conditions as direct comparable employees of the client company.

Defining Comparable Employees

When setting the benchmark for fair treatment, we must considers comparable employees within your organization, regardless of their location. These individuals are directly employed by you and perform tasks or roles similar to those being filled by the talent recruited in Germany.

For instance, if your company adopts progressive policies such as "Unlimited Holiday" for all employees, it's essential to extend this benefit to employees engaged through our EOR services. This approach guarantees consistency and eliminates any disparities in benefits or working conditions.

Setting Standards for Future Hires

In cases where there are no directly comparable employees for a specific role, the initial onboarding process becomes pivotal. It is during this stage that you define the standard working conditions and benefits.

These established standards act as a blueprint for subsequent hires in similar roles, guaranteeing uniformity and impartiality. Should you plan to expand your team in Germany, adhering to these predefined standards becomes essential for upholding compliance with equal treatment regulations.

Simplified Onboarding

Navigating the intricacies of compliance can seem daunting, but our onboarding process aims to simplify this task. Through a series of targeted questions, we identify the relevant factors that apply to other employees within your organization. Based on this information, we craft a tailored and compliant employment contract, ensuring that all legal requirements are met seamlessly.
