The EU Directive on transparent and predictable working conditions provides rights for workers to more foreseeable and secure working terms and arrangements. Under the Directive, all workers in the EU will have the right to more complete information on the essential aspects of their work, a limit on the duration of probationary periods, effective measures that prevent abuse of zero-hour contract work and much more. Additionally, the EU Directive will introduce an obligation for employers to provide cost-free mandatory training to workers.

EU Member States had until 1 August 2022 to transpose the Directive into national law, but many Member States have failed to meet that deadline.            

In our EU directive on transparent and predictable working conditions implementation guide, our International employment experts outline the implementation status across 16 EU countries, with input from trusted Bird & Bird Plus law firms who have contributed for Austria, Luxembourg and Portugal. The guide shows:

  • progress towards implementation by jurisdiction;
  • the degree of change to existing law that implementation will entail; and
  • how some of the key topics covered in the Directive are dealt with in local implementing legislation.
