The European Commission recently conducted a public consultation on the measures that may be taken to ensure the full application of the principle of equal pay between women and men. Its evaluation report is expected before the end of this year. The new Swiss legislation on monitoring and disclosure of the gender pay gap may be inspiration for future EU initiatives in this area. |

2019/45 Usage of fixed-term employment contracts for professors restricted (LV) |
Tijdschrift | European Employment Law Cases, Aflevering 4 2019 |
Trefwoorden | Fixed-term work |
Auteurs | Andis Burkevics |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia has ruled that provisions of the Law on Higher Education Institutions stipulating that professors and associate professors are elected to the office for a fixed period of time, i.e. for six years, and that only fixed-term employment contracts are to be concluded with them are not compatible with the Constitution of the Republic of Latvia (Latvijas Republikas Satversme) (the ‘Constitution’), which among other things provides that everyone has the right to freely choose their employment and workplace according to their abilities and qualifications. The restriction of this right in this case cannot be regarded as proportionate since the legislator has failed to implement the requirements of the Fixed-term Work Directive 99/70/EC. |

2019/47 Transfer of undertakings does not include temporary agency workers (AT) |
Tijdschrift | European Employment Law Cases, Aflevering 4 2019 |
Trefwoorden | Transfer of undertakings, Transfer, Employees who transfer/refuse to transfer |
Auteurs | Thomas B. Pfalz |
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie |
In a series of rulings the Austrian Supreme Court has made it clear that temporary agency workers are transferred to the transferee only if they are assigned to the transferor on a permanent basis. According to the Court, the facts of the cases at hand are not comparable to those of the ECJ ruling in Albron Catering BV (C-242/09). Hence the temporary agency workers remain with their original employer. However, some aspects of the Court’s reasoning seem unclear if not contradictory with regard to other recent judgments. |
