We are pleased to share the March edition of our European Employment Insights newsletter. This issue, prepared by Andersen’s team of experts across Europe, provides a deep dive into the most recent updates on employment law, regulations, case law, and collective agreements from various countries.
Highlights from the March issue:
- Cyprus: Employees may be entitled to a refund of social insurance deductions that exceed the annual maximum insurable earnings, which they can apply for after the end of the calendar year.
- Finland: The Supreme Court considered whether a paid lunch break arrangement had become a binding term of employment through implied agreement or established practice.
- Ireland: With the transposition date of 7 June 2026 just around the corner, all Irish employers should be reminded of the changes that the EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) (“the Directive”) will bring once transposed into Irish law.
- Lithuania: The Supreme Court ruled that failing to contest a salary reduction within three months implies acceptance of the new working conditions.
- Portugal: Employers must prepare for the new EU AI Act, which imposes strict obligations for using "high-risk" systems in recruitment and employee management.
- Spain: The Supreme Court confirms that a dismissal is effective only upon delivery of the written notice to the employee, not from an earlier notification to Social Security.
