Study to support impact assessment on the review of the written statement directive : directive 91/533/EEC : final report

In the intervening period since the adoption of the Directive in the early 1990s, a number of issues have arisen, including a significant increase in the new forms of employment, as well as concerns about the timeframe of employee notification, the content of information provided and other issues. The Commission seeks to understand these issues better and to gather sufficient evidence to undertake an impact assessment to thoroughly examine various options relating to the Directive's possible future revision. This study provides evidence on the issues identified to support the impact assessment of the review of the Directive in order to ultimately improve the protection of workers across the EU.
