We are pleased to share the October 2026 edition of “Andersen European Employment Insights”, bringing together key employment law developments and practical HR updates from 18 jurisdictions across Europe – and, for the first time, a look beyond Europe with a Partner Spotlight on Mexico.
This month, we look at several issues particularly relevant for employers:
- Algorithms and platform work – with new transparency rules on algorithmic decision-making in Spain and new platform work legislation in Slovakia and Lithuania;
- Dismissals under judicial scrutiny – including recent rulings from Finland, Germany, and Switzerland on prior warnings, proof of authority, and protected periods;
- Cross-border work and mobility – from notification rules for employees assigned abroad from Croatia to automatic salary data exchange in Switzerland and a Finnish case on working remotely from abroad without consent;
- New compliance deadlines – including mandatory working time registration planned in Belgium and a proposed new public holiday in Hungary.
Partner Spotlights: Moldova and Mexico
Iulia Furtuna, Partner at Turcan Cazac, explains why global HR decisions still require local execution in Moldova – from choosing the right employment model to approving remote work from another country.
In our first LATAM Partner Spotlight, Álvaro González, Alfredo Pérez, and Claudia Sánchez of Andersen in Mexico share what European companies should know before their first hire in Mexico – from the real cost of employment to outsourcing restrictions and termination.
