Works council procedure · Germany

Participation rights, made workable.

Independent consultation for works councils facing consultation, consent, information and co-determination procedures. We turn a dense case file into a clear sequence of decisions.

Know what the council can do next

A consultation starts with the documents, the statutory basis and the deadline—not a generic opinion. We identify missing information, available resolutions and the right point to involve specialist counsel.

§ 99 BetrVG

Personnel measures

Review proposed hiring, grading, transfer or dismissal steps and prepare a properly reasoned council response.

§ 87 BetrVG

Co-determination

Clarify mandatory participation on working time, conduct, monitoring and workplace arrangements.

Organisation

Procedure readiness

Build a usable resolution, meeting record and communication sequence before an employer deadline expires.

“We arrived with a transfer notice and conflicting views. The session separated what had to be decided that afternoon from what could wait for further information.”
— Deputy chair, manufacturing council, Saxony
“The written note was deliberately plain. I would have liked more sample wording, but our lawyer confirmed the procedural sequence was sound.”
— Council member, logistics employer
“The document check exposed that the grading information was incomplete. That changed the questions we sent before voting.”
— Committee chair, social services
