Your work. Your rights.
Counselling center for foreign employees in Saxony (BABS)
We advise foreign workers from EU countries in Saxony on labour and social security law.
Legal work under fair conditions and equal treatment of all employees in Saxony.
Under this motto we support employees from other EU member states who work or plan to work in Saxony.
Our counselling focuses on issues of labor law (employment contract, wage claims/minimum wage, working hours, vacation entitlements, dismissal, work accidents, differences between genuine and fictitious self-employment, mobbing/discrimination, etc.) and social law (child benefit, unemployment/unemployment benefit, health and long-term care insurance, pension insurance, accident insurance, family benefits, etc.). Our advice is free of charge. It does not include representation in court.
Information
Information for employees
If you are employed by an employer in Germany, German employment law applies to you. Specific rules may apply under social security law, particularly if you are a cross-border worker.
Information for posted workers
If your employer sends you to another EU Member State for a limited period of time, you are considered a posted worker. As such, the EU regulations regarding posted workers apply to you.
Information for self-emloyed
If you are self-employed in Saxony, you must check whether you need to register a business. Please also be aware of the risk of false self-employment.
