>Employer"s right to give instructions regarding business trips abroad Posted by PRGateway on February 21st Bill Laimbeer Jersey , 2018
An employer"s executive prerogative entails being able to order business trips abroad if the employee commits himself to undertake this kind of service in his or her employment contract. That was the verdict of the Landesarbeitsgericht (LAG) Baden-W?rttemberg [Regional Labour Court of Baden-W?rttemberg].
In many industries, business trips come with the territory for a lot of employees. In the wake of globalization, business trips no longer mean simply travelling within Germany or to neighbouring countries but also further afield to countries such as China. We at the law firm GRP Rainer Rechtsanw?lte note that according to a ruling of the LAG Baden-W?rttemberg from September 6, 2017 (Az.: 4 Sa 317)), an employer is able to order these kinds of business trips by virtue of its executive prerogative if the "versprochene Dienste" Grant Hill Jersey , i.e. the promised services, set out in the employment contract pursuant to sec. 611 para. 1 of the B?rgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) [Germany"s Civil Code] can naturally be associated with occasional foreign assignments.
The case before the LAG concerned an engineer who had been employed for about 30 years at a machine manufacturer and was rarely sent on business trips, and on those rare occasions only to countries nearby. However, he was then made to travel to China. From the employee"s point of view, the hotel Christian Laettner Jersey , service and location of the accommodation left much to be desired. He viewed the trip as a form of victimization by his employer and brought a legal action to prevent his employer from being allowed to send him on business trips abroad, at least not to distant countries.
The LAG dismissed the claim, stating that although an employee need not accept intolerable accommodation while abroad, he can be sent on business trips. Moreover, the employer can set out in more detail the working hours Joe Smith Jersey , places of work and what the work entails as it reasonably sees fit as long as no contractual or collectively agreed provisions preclude this. The Court held that in this case the employer"s right to issue instructions in relation to the place of work was not limited by the employment contract due to the lack of a clear provision on this issue. The fact that the work owed by the engineer was not limited to a single location was said to be evident from a provision in the employment contract concerning compensation for travel expenses. The LAG went on to say that this kind of arrangement made no sense in the absence of an obligation to go on business trips, and gave leave to appeal.

You know what? Too many people are trying for the "BIG Success" these days.
I'm here to tell you that, well, sorry to burst a lot of bubbles Dennis Rodman Jersey , but there are no big successes.
That's right.
None.
Not one.
There are no big successes.
What Allen? Have you lost your mind?
Maybe :-) but maybe not.
The last NBA Championsip team? The Masters winner? Wimbledon? The Kentucky Derby? American Idol?
Not one of those is a big success.
Each of them are a myriad of tiny successes, and they are piled up on top of one another.
The championship isn't won on that final shot at the buzzer.
It's won during drills and practices. The games played and won, or lost, building up to the final series.
It's won at the free throw line in the first period.
It's won from that 10-foot jumper with 8 minutes to play in the second quarter.
We perceive the success as being derived from that final shot. But fact of the matter is, every little step that was taken Terry Mills Jersey , and taken correctly, and taken purposely in order to further the goal, were just as important to the winning of any championship as that shot at the buzzer.
In your life, in your goals, stop searching for big success.
Start finding ways to be successful Joe Dumars Jersey , step by step, stage by stage.
Each of those mini-successes will accumulate.
And together, you will have what others will see as a big success.
