Social security law is utterly complex and is divided into different areas concerning the legal matter. There are quite a few points of references to industrial law.
Social security law is often of a vital significance for the affected person. This applies to pushing through claims for dismissed employees or for example the correct amount of to be paid money and the length of the payment of unemployment benefits I and II. To avoid disadvantages like for example guard delay or subscription cut downs, it is to act properly and aim-oriented before ending the employment relationship. When actually receiving unemployment payments, several conflicts with the work agency might occur, like for example in the context of educational trainings or employment arrangements.
Plus, we must add the benefit law in the field of work promotion, like e.g. the rights on short time employment payment, so called winter money, compensation money in the case of insolvency, subsidies to job creation programs, payments for the support of part-time working for people approaching retirement and so on…
Legal health insurance matters are also covered by the Hackenberg chambers. Concerns here are pushing through paid sick leave, medical benefits, as well as an inspection by the Medical Service if sickness notifications are financially justifiable for a company.
Accidents at work are passed by the accident insurance, like accidents on the way to/from work taking the special entitlement and responsibility regulations into consideration.
The pension scheme laws are a main concern connected to ending employments. It is to prevent cut- downs in the legal profession and to choose the right time for retirement. Plus, early retirement settlements and part-time working for people approaching retirement must be respected in this case. In cases of partial or total inability to work, relating retirement payments must be revised. This is especially time-robbing and the representing body must be stubborn to push through pension entitlements in cases of work inabilities. Unfortunately, it has happened that the different departments of social security fight about the areas of responsibility, especially when it comes to payments. So, it is necessary to act quickly and unbeaurocraticly in case of an emergency.
