A decision session built around one live measure
This consultation is for a works council, committee or authorised council member who has received an employer notice and needs to determine the next procedural step. Typical files concern hiring, transfer, grading, working-time arrangements, workplace conduct or technical monitoring.
The result is a practical route through the current procedure: what participation right is engaged, when the period starts, which information may still be missing, what alternatives the council can lawfully consider and how to record the decision.
The fee covers one 90-minute session for up to four council participants and the preparation described below. Extensive collective agreement interpretation, negotiations with the employer and litigation are outside this fixed scope and can be quoted separately.
What is included
- A preliminary review of up to 30 pages received at least two working days beforehand
- A timeline of notices, meetings and relevant statutory periods
- A structured 90-minute consultation by secure video call or at our Dresden office
- Discussion of information requests, resolution options and communication to the employer
- A written action note, normally sent within two working days
Before the appointment
Send the employer notice, relevant attachments, the date and method of receipt, and any draft council resolution. Redact employee health details, private addresses, bank data and other material not needed to understand the measure. One council contact should list the questions on which members currently disagree.
How the review proceeds
- Establish the record. We identify what arrived, from whom, on which date and for what intended measure.
- Locate the participation right. The consultation distinguishes information, consultation, consent and enforceable co-determination.
- Test procedural readiness. We examine whether the council can resolve now or should first request specific missing information.
- Map the response. Members leave with a sequence for the meeting, resolution and employer communication.
Limits and escalation
Module Wirehub provides procedural consultation and preparation. We do not promise a particular employment-law outcome, represent either side before the labour court or act for individual employees against their employer. If court representation, an injunction or an Einigungsstelle becomes likely, we will say so plainly and recommend prompt instruction of an appropriately admitted lawyer.
Next step
Describe the employer measure and requested response date. We reply within one working day to confirm whether the fixed-scope review is suitable and offer appointment times.
