After months of negotiations, the Arizona parties forming the new government reached a Coalition Agreement on 31 January 2025. This Coalition Agreement has announced a number of ambitious measures that will bring about significant changes in employment and social security law.
The ALTIUS Employment Team gives you an overview of the most important announced HR measures in a series of 6 “highlights”. We have grouped these measures around the following 6 “domains”:
- Salary (cost) and benefits
- Working time
- Dismissal and unemployment
- End-of-career and pensions
- Incapacity for work and well-being
- (International) labour market
In this sixth and final “highlight”, we elaborate on the measures that are in the pipeline regarding the “(International) labour market”.
All these measures will be further developed into legislation in the coming months and years. Some of them will also be subject to prior consultation between the employers’ organisations and the unions. The ALTIUS Employment Team is closely monitoring this process and will continue to update you about the important developments.
Happy reading!
