Document background
The Foreign Employment Contract is essential for German companies hiring employees from abroad, ensuring compliance with both German employment law and immigration requirements. This document should be used when establishing formal employment relationships with foreign nationals who will work in Germany, whether remotely or on-site. It incorporates all mandatory provisions required by German labor law, including those specified in the B眉rgerliches Gesetzbuch (German Civil Code) and Nachweisgesetz (Evidence Act), while addressing specific needs of international employment such as work permit requirements, relocation terms, and cross-border considerations. The contract serves as a crucial legal framework that protects both employer and employee interests while ensuring compliance with German workplace regulations, social security requirements, and tax obligations.
