Labor Director

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The labor director is the member of the board of directors or the management of a company with equal co-determination in accordance with Section 33 of the Co-Determination Act or Section 13 of the Co-determination Act .

In the coal and steel industry , the labor director cannot be appointed against the majority of the votes of the employee representatives on the supervisory board . In practice outside of the coal and steel industry, there is often a constellation according to which the company's HR manager is also the labor director. There the labor director is appointed to the board as an equal member. Like all other members of the Board of Management, it must make its decisions in close consultation with the committee. Further details of cooperation are usually in the Rules of Procedure regulated.

According to the German tradition of codetermination and the will of the legislature (not anchored in the text of the Codetermination Act, but discussed in the Bundestag during the course of the legislation ), the Labor Director should be responsible for personnel and social affairs and should be based on the trust of the company's employees. However, the shareholders on the supervisory board can also appoint the labor director against the will of the employees on the supervisory board ( the chairman of the supervisory board has double voting rights).
