What is going on?
Within the construction and real estate industry, our team of labor lawyers sees that employers often have multiple issues at play:
The application of the collective bargaining agreement applicable to the company.
Questions about the application of the collective bargaining agreement often involve wages, overtime, benefits, leave and other terms and conditions of employment. Various collective bargaining agreements apply in the construction and real estate industry. Think of the CBA Construction and Infra for contractors and infrastructure companies, the CBA for Architectural Firms or the CBA Residential Services for housing associations. BG.legal's specialists can help you with questions about all these different collective agreements.
Labor law in constant motion
Questions about employment law often concern forms of contract (permanent, flexible, temporary work), but also questions about performance, dismissal and the transitional compensation. The most recent employment legislation in this area is the Law on Implementation of the EU Directive on Transparent and Predictable Terms of Employment. You can read all about this law here.
Chain liability
As a contractor, part of the work is often outsourced to someone else, which brings chain liability into the picture. The chain liability regulation makes each link of the chain liable for all subsequent links where it concerns the payment of owed payroll taxes by those subsequent links.
Social security
Questions around social security often concern what to do in case of illness, the rights and obligations in reintegration and disability benefits after long-term illness.
Working conditions
For the construction and infrastructure industry, questions about working conditions can include issues such as safety regulations and safety equipment.
