EU: Directive on transparent and predictable working conditions is published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU)

The new ‘working conditions Directive was published in the OJEU on 11 July (here). Now EU Members have until 01 August 2022 to align their own national legislation to this new EU text that help to enhance the information to be passed on to employees in the early stages of an employment relationship (as regards place or places of work, the right to training, paid leave, notice period for contract terminations, etc.), hence the reference to the notion of transparency in its title. Above all however, it covers the idea of a basic set of minimum rights, geared towards guaranteeing those who work on a flexible basis – with varying working timetables and hours – more predictability and stability.
