In your position, parts of the employer's right to issue instructions have been transferred to you, resulting in special features. You may also be an executive employee. What exactly does this mean and who decides on this labour law figure? The legal term originates from the Works Constitution Act, which primarily ties executive employees to hiring and dismissal powers, procuration or a certain freedom to issue instructions. Whoever exercises employer powers or has a corresponding clause in the employment contract is therefore automatically a manager and should also strive for this position? No, it depends on the factual situation, i.e. the actual employment relationship, and requires careful consideration as to whether this legal figure comes into play or should come into play. This is not only accompanied by rights, but also obligations and limited protection against dismissal. Furthermore, the Works Constitution Act and the Working Hours Act do not apply. Is the employer allowed to use seventy or eighty hours a week to answer your e-mails and at 22:30 to answer your e-mails? And do you have to accept an unjustified dismissal when paying a severance payment?
