This book offers a comparison between German and Polish regulations on fixed-term employment contracts against the background of the so-called “flexicurity” strategy of the EU. Despite the partly inverse political and societal circumstances under which these regulations were developed, the author uncovers many parallels, but also some grave differences.Since atypical employment relationships are to a large extent determined by regulations, it seems obvious to conclude that there must exist a similar level of flexibility and protection with respect to these relationships in the member states. One might therefore formulate the hypothesis that – at least after a certain transitional period encompassing the transposition period and corrections of national legislation according to the case law of the European Court of Justice – the aims of the regulations determining atypical employment relationships in the various member states can be achieved and thus, the respective national regulations should be comparable, at least with respect to their effects. The present work examines the validity of this hypothesis for the two EU member states Germany and Poland on the example of fixed-term employment contracts. |
