»Collective Bargaining Agreement and Employers' Association Membership in the Event of the Employer's Insolvency«: The insolvency of an employer bound by collective bargaining agreements raises numerous issues in various legal areas, primarily insolvency and collective bargaining law, but also employment contract and association law. None of these areas of law contains a comprehensive regulatory regime for the insolvency of an employer bound by collective bargaining agreements. The thesis investigates the effects of the opening of insolvency proceedings on collective bargaining agreements as well as on the membership in an employer`s association.

»Protection Against Dismissal for Whistleblowers in Change. Status Quo in Germany and EU Whistleblower Directive«:The EU Whistleblower Directive, which has come into force in 2019, is intended to establish a consistent and high level of protection for whistleblowers against reprisals in the EU. This doctoral thesis analyses the status quo of protection against dismissal for whistleblowers in Germany, discusses the new EU protection requirements and summarises the provisions the German legislator has to implement. Further, it comments on the draft of a German Whistleblower Protection Act (status: Feb. 2023).

The Protection against Dismissal Act (KSchG) allocates the responsibility for a personal and behavioural disruption to the employee. In practice, however, it happens that both parties to the employment contract have contributed to the disruption. This paper examines the extent to which the employee bears the risk for the employer's misconduct. The consequences of the employer's responsibility for the right of termination are analyzed. The employer's responsibility does not automatically lead to an exclusion of the right to terminate. However, the employer's responsibility can make it more difficult to pursue the right of termination. The standard for weighing interests must be modified.

»Obligation to Work and Risk of Remuneration in Times of Pandemic. A Comparative Legal Analysis of the Impacts of Infection, Suspected Infection and Increased Health Risks on Employment Relations«: This study examines the impact of a coronavirus infection, a suspected infection or an increased health risk due to the COVID-19-pandemic on the employment relationship by comparing German and French labor law. In addition to questions of continued payment of wages or compensation for loss of earnings, issues of occupational health and safety and data protection law are examined. Emphasis is also put on remote work and the possibility of its unilateral introduction.

»The Reservation of Human Decisions in the Employment Relationship. On the Use of »Artificial Intelligence« in Decision-Making Processes under Labour Law«: The use of »Artificial Intelligence« (AI) in decision-making processes under labour law leads to an algorithmic external determination of the employee, which finds its limits in Art. 22 GDPR. The paper assesses the potential to algorithmize classic employer decisions, elaborates upon the requirements to prevent a »solely« automated process in the case of AI-based decision preparations and analyses the safeguards under individual and works constitutional law.

Der Einsatz von mobilen IT-Geräten ist im Privat- und Arbeitsleben kaum mehr wegzudenken. Während früher eine klare Trennung zwischen privaten und dienstlichen IT-Geräten vorherrschte, verwischen diese Grenzen heute zunehmend. Immer mehr Arbeitnehmer möchten auf die Nutzung ihrer privaten Mobilgeräte am Arbeitsplatz nicht mehr verzichten, sondern private Kommunikation und dienstliche Aufgaben von einem einzigen Gerät aus erledigen. Diskutiert und zusammengefasst wird dieser Trend unter dem Schlagwort »Bring Your Own Device« (BYOD).Christine Monsch widmet sich der Problematik, welche rechtlichen Anforderungen eine BYOD-Konzeptionierung und deren Ausgestaltung notwendig zu erfüllen hat, um einen rechtswirksamen Einsatz der Privatgeräte im Unternehmen zu gewährleisten. Im Fokus stehen arbeitsrechtliche Aspekte, wie Kosten- und Haftungsfragen, arbeitszeitrechtliche Regelungen sowie die Mitbestimmungsrechte des Betriebsrats. Die Autorin analysiert darüber hinaus auch die Fülle an telekommunikations- und datenschutzrechtlichen Problemkreisen sowie die lizenz-, straf- und steuerrechtlichen Fragestellungen und unterbreitet Vorschläge für ein praxisgerechtes BYOD-Regelungswerk.

»Dual Studies from a Labour Law Perspective. Dual Track Students in the Area of Tension between Labour Law and Higher Education Law«: The author examines the labour law dimension of dual studies, a hybrid format with its systematic interlinking of theory and practice, which is subdivided into different types. He comes to the conclusion that the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) is an appropriate regulation for the legal containment of the practical phases of dual study programmes. The existing individual and collective labour law system provides sufficient protection for dual track students in the company.

»The Right to Give Instructions«The author draws a legal-dogmatic panorama of the employer's right to give instructions. He examines its legal basis as well as its legal nature and that of individual instructions. This is followed by an examination of the extension of the right to issue instructions, the legal control of such extension clauses and the interactions with protection against dismissal. The legal consequences of unfair instructions are also examined. The thesis concludes with a clarification of the relationship between § 106 GewO and § 315 BGB.

»The Non-Continuation of Fixed-Term Employment Relationships. On the Employer's Freedom and Commitment in the Contractually Predefined Space«: The thesis examines how freely employers may decide on the continuation of effectively fixed-term employment relationships after their expiration. For this purpose, various cases of self-binding of employers are examined, including the general principle of equal treatment and the culpa in contrahendo. The thesis focuses on how various discrimination laws affect the continuation of the contract after its expiration and on the legal consequences resulting from their violation.

»Digital Instructions. Employer Decisions Based on Algorithmic Calculations«: >Automated exercise of the right of instructionissuing of instructions by robots< or >AI-generated instructions< - digital instructions are gaining attention in the legal literature.In this context, it is important to answer which requirements the applicable law places on digital instructions due to the novel decision-making technology and due to their character as instructions in the conventional sense. Are some instructions even under the reservation of a human final decision?

Der Streit um die Zulässigkeit von Differenzierungsklauseln geht in eine neue Runde: Während sich die Debatte bislang hauptsächlich auf Tarifklauseln konzentrierte, die zwischen Gewerkschaftsmitgliedern und anderen Arbeitnehmern unterscheidet, beschäftigen sich die Gerichte seit einiger Zeit auch mit Tarifverträgen, die Leistungen von der Mitgliedschaft zu einem ganz bestimmten Zeitpunkt abhängig machen. Damit unterscheiden sog. »Binnendifferenzierungsklauseln« augenscheinlich nur zwischen verschiedenen Gruppen von Gewerkschaftsmitgliedern. Felix Mayer zeigt auf, dass das BAG in seiner viel diskutierten Entscheidung vom 15.4.2015 lediglich über eine Spielart dieser Klauseln entschieden hat und die Grenzen der tarifvertraglichen Ausgestaltungsfreiheit von der jeweiligen konkreten Situation abhängen. Er hinterfragt zudem die bisherigen Begründungsansätze für die Gleichbehandlungskontrolle von Tarifverträgen und erarbeitet hierfür eine neue dogmatische Grundlage.

»The Concept of Income under Parental Benefit Law. On Tying the Determination of Income under Parental Allowance Law to Tax Law«: The paper deals with the concept of income in § 2 para. 1 sentence 3 BEEG, which refers to tax law to determine the income relevant for parental allowance. The link to tax law is intended to simplify the administrative procedure, but leads to delimitation difficulties and contradictions. The study is taken as an opportunity to work out a system of income concepts in social law and, on this basis, to submit a reform proposal for the current income concept.
