Details

Managers in European Law is a pioneering book – with contributions from experts across Europe – to take a broad comparative look at how the delimitation of rights and duties of executive and non-executive managers is done under different areas of EU law and across various jurisdictions (namely, EU and national law). Business organisations depend on having one or more persons who can legitimately make strategic business decisions. But what are the legal entitlements of such key professionals?

What’s in this book:

The following aspects of the executive role covered include:

extensive treatment of definitions and methodologies to ascertain the status of managers as ‘workers’ in Europe
comprehensive interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of cross-cutting issues affecting managers in Europe, including complexities arising from national variations in governance structures and roles and functions of managers
comprehensive analysis of cases before the European courts with full awareness of applicable rules
distinction between registered front directors and those who act as de facto managers
how employees (and to some degree other stakeholders) may be involved in management
trends in current EU law that increase the need to protect managers
trends that increase the need to hold managers liable right to, inter alia, information and consultation, occupational health and safety, non-discrimination and free movement, and
recognition that managers may not necessarily be powerful professionals with strength vis-à-vis the company as employer

How this will help you:

According to EU statistics, in 2019, nearly 9.4 million persons held managerial positions across the EU’s Member States, meaning that many managers currently can no longer be considered unworthy of employment protection. The legal status of these individuals thus cannot be sidestepped. This significant volume will be valuable to practitioners, policymakers, and academics in employment and labour law.
