Individual labor relations
Individual labor relations constitute the day-to-day work of HR teams, but at certain key moments, the legal, human, and financial considerations can be significant.
Securing the hiring of an employee
The services proposed by our teams prior to hiring your employee can range from assessing the risk of the hire given the presence of a non-compete obligation or a potential situation of unfair competition, verifying residence permits and work permits, and studying the applicability of the employment situation in France to the hiring of a foreign worker.
Once the company has hired the employee, META-LEGAL helps to prepare more complex employment contracts and draft clauses to protect the company’s interests (GDPR, image rights, inventions, non-compete, loyalty and non-disclosure, mobility, training commitment, variable pay, remote working, etc.).
Ensuring compliance and adapting the relationship with an employee
META-LEGAL supports its clients throughout their relationships with their employees.
Firstly, our teams regularly intervene regarding contractual adjustments to the relationship with the employee (change of position, pay, working hours, classification, place of work, etc.) and to accompany disciplinary procedures.
Our services also cover the management of health and safety issues (incapacity procedures, declarations of occupational accidents or diseases, studies, and the assessment and processing of claims of harassment and discrimination), the implementation of comprehensive systems for the delegation of powers, and the international mobility of employees.
Securing the termination of the relationship with an employee
In this phase, it is important to ensure the correct completion of each step in order to ensure that the procedure is as legally secure as possible.
To this end, in each case, META-LEGAL assesses the implications of the termination (risks and associated costs), helps to establish formal grounds for the termination, and assists in preparing all the necessary documents (convocation notices, letters of dismissal, contractual terminations, etc.).
Subsequently, META-LEGAL may intervene to represent its clients in pre-litigation negotiation procedures, which may lead to the signing of a settlement agreement.
