The Labour Leasing Licence

Business case:

A British company's objective is to send employees to individual German companies in order to support those companies to develop their business in the EMEA region. The nature of the British company is to obtain and manage temporary workers in Germany.

Business challenge

As a holder of the German Labour Leasing Licene, the British company fully manages the temporary workers, without having the obligation to hold a legal entity in Germany. For the supply of temporary workers in Germany the German Labour Leasing Law claims a special permit.

Questions to be considered:

  • How is the process of administrative application set in Germany?
  • How would the supply and work contract be defined?
  • Does the German Collective Bargaining Law apply?
  • How will the tax situation of the company look like?

How we helped:

The Consoultinghouse legal services team provided fundamental consultancy and attendance through the process of registration in Germany that included:

  • Advisory and Monitoring of the administrative procedure
  • Legal & Tax registration of company and employee
  • Preparation of supply and work contract as well as necessary documents
  • Negotiation with the regional directorate of the Federal Agency of Employment
  • HR & payroll management for the British company who sent its employees to Germany
