Bundespersonalvertretungsgesetz

The Bundespersonalvertretungsgesetz (BPersVG) is a German law that governs the rights and responsibilities of employee representatives (personal councils) within federal government agencies. It ensures employees have a say in workplace issues like staffing, working conditions, and organizational changes. The law establishes how these councils are structured, their election processes, and their authority to participate in decision-making. Its purpose is to promote cooperation between employees and management, ensuring transparent communication and protecting employees' interests in federal institutions.
