Document background
The Assignment Of Employment Agreement is utilized in scenarios where an employment relationship needs to be transferred from one employer to another, typically during corporate restructuring, business transfers, or group reorganizations under German law. This document is essential for ensuring compliance with German employment legislation, particularly §613a BGB (transfer of undertakings), while maintaining employee rights and benefits. It addresses crucial aspects such as continuous service, existing terms and conditions, works council requirements, and data protection obligations. The agreement is particularly important in Germany due to strict employment protection laws and the requirement for explicit documentation of employment relationships. It should be used whenever there is a need to assign employment contracts between legal entities while ensuring all statutory obligations are met and employee rights are preserved.
