Employment contracts/service agreements in Europe

The challenge for employers

"Employers operating across Europe are often faced with a bewildering variety of employment contracts and are struggling not only with documents in different languages but also with widely varying terms and conditions. This is not only a challenge for the HR team but can also lead to employee discontent, particularly in businesses operating a matrix organisation where colleagues from different countries regularly work together and might exchange information on their contract terms."
