Germany Works Constitution Act (BetrVG) s100: s 100 Use temporary staff measures only when urgent, inform the council at once and go to court within three days if contested

Where urgently needed on factual grounds, the employer may carry out a measure under s 99 provisionally before the council responds or despite refusal, informing the employee of the factual and legal position and the council without delay. If the council disputes the urgency, the employer may keep the measure only by applying to the labour court within three days for replacement of consent and a declaration of urgency; it ends two weeks after a final negative decision. Under s 101 the council can have measures taken in breach of ss 99 and 100 reversed, with fines for non-compliance.
