Rest Period Mapping alone paid for the seat — we found three illegal turnarounds in a draft warehouse rota.

FAQ
Is this legal advice I can rely on in court?
No. The Intensive is educational and consultative. It does not replace representation by a licensed attorney or the advice of a works council counsel for litigation.
How much time should I set aside?
Most learners spend 4–6 hours across two weeks, plus optional office hours. The capstone packet usually takes one focused evening.
What is a real limitation of this program?
We do not provide jurisdiction-specific opinions for every Tarifvertrag. Sector rules can override classroom examples; you must verify the agreement that binds your workplace. That verification step is taught, not performed for you inside the self-paced modules.
Can my employer sponsor a seat?
Yes. We invoice organizations after a short scope call. Team formats are listed under Works Council Circle on Pricing.
