37th Reutlingen Labor Law Forum Yellow Card – Red Card: When Employers Can Stop Paying Wages
The right to continued pay is shaped by the case law of the Federal Labor Court (BAG), which in recent years has increasingly provided employers with grounds to defend against claims for continued pay. Therefore, not every certificate of incapacity for work automatically requires the employer to continue paying wages. We provide practical guidance on what employers need to know and implement now.

Sick Note – Red Card: When Employers Can Stop Continuing
Pay Concise and practical: Employers do not always have to accept every instance of incapacity for work and the associated obligation to continue paying wages. There are numerous scenarios in which the obligation to continue paying wages does not automatically apply. We’ll show you the legal avenues available to you—from questioning the actual existence of incapacity for work and accounting for pre-existing conditions to the so-called “unity of the impediment”—each with clear recommendations for action.
Current Developments in Pay Transparency
We provide you with a brief overview of the upcoming obligations for companies and the need for immediate action.
