Employer’s Statutory Plans

Employer’s Statutory Plans

The statutory plans and other documentation required of all employers are the cornerstones of every employer’s operations. We help employers in drafting and implementing the plans. We also provide down-to-earth advice on best practices.

The plans will ensure that your company is aware of and meets its statutory obligations. They create transparency both in the work community and in authority inspections, corporate transactions or recruiting.

We tailor our advice by taking into account the number of employees of the company as well as the company’s field of operation and other needs. The advice can cover, for example, the following matters:

  • Statutory obligations, such as working hour and annual holiday accounting, permits for foreign workers, obligations relating to posted workers and obligations relating to personnel under the Contractor’s Liability Act
  • Assessment of potentially applicable collective bargaining agreements
  • Drafting and updating of statutory plans, such as equality plans including pay charts, as well as personnel and training plan
  • Preparing for authority inspections
  • Privacy policy related to the processing and storage of employees’ and job applicants’ personal data
