Document background
The Amendment To Employment Agreement is a crucial document used when there's a need to modify specific terms of an existing employment relationship while maintaining the overall employment framework under German law. This document is commonly used when changes occur in employment conditions such as promotions, salary adjustments, working hour modifications, or role changes. It must comply with German employment legislation, particularly the Documentation Act (Nachweisgesetz), which requires written documentation of any substantial changes to employment terms. The amendment should clearly reference the original employment agreement, specify the exact changes being made, and confirm which original terms remain unchanged. In workplaces with works councils, certain amendments may require their consultation or approval in accordance with the Works Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz).
