Employment Law

Ryger has a team of lawyers who assist clients with matters relating to the ordinary operation of their businesses, including from entering into to terminating employment arrangements. We provide advice concerning the hiring/hiring out of manpower, entering into of assignment agreements and standard employment contracts, arrangements for working hours, checks of employees, discrimination rules, holidays and holiday pay, pensions and redundancies.

Our experience is that it is becoming increasingly more important for our clients to bind key personnel closer to the company, and to protect their own customer portfolio. We have expertise that covers all situations relating to bonuses and other incentive schemes, competition clauses and customer clauses.

Our lawyers also have extensive experience with assisting both companies and employees in connection with changes to and the conclusion of employment arrangements that are due to circumstances on both the part of the company and the employee. The former also includes downsizing and restructuring processes associated with, for example, mergers/demergers and transfers of undertakings. We also assist clients in clarifying their rights and obligations in the event of bankruptcy.

We can identify discrepancies between the company’s routines, contracts, statutory benefits and other issues in connection with employment conflicts. We assist clients with compliance with public law requirements and, for example, with implementing and enforcing whistleblowing rules. We also serve as an external whistleblowing secretariat for municipalities and private business. We have developed a dedicated whistleblowing portal for our clients to use.
