What is Betriebsuebergang - Business Transfer (Germany)?
The German legal concept, codified in Section 613a of the Civil Code (BGB), that automatically transfers employees' employment relationships to a new employer when a business or part of a business changes hands, preserving all existing terms and conditions for at least one year.
