Case Study: a US-based industrial instrument supplier achieves compliant interim hiring in Germany with Express Global Employment

US Based Industrial Instrument Supplier - Customer Case Study

The US Based Industrial Instrument Supplier, a US-based company, needed to quickly and compliantly hire a Director of Manufacturing Operations in Germany before establishing their own legal entity there. Their challenge was navigating Germany's employment laws, particularly the 18-month limit on such interim hires. They partnered with the vendor, Acumen International, to utilize its Global PEO service as an interim solution.

Acumen International provided a customized Global PEO solution that enabled the rapid and legal hiring of the German employee. The vendor prepared a compliant employment agreement within days, ensuring GDPR adherence and accommodating terms for bonuses and work-related expenses. This allowed the employee to start promptly after his previous notice period. The solution successfully met the client's immediate need, resulting in a satisfied customer who now plans to build out their entire German team with Acumen's support while they incorporate in the country.
