Germany is set to introduce a new form of partial incapacity for work from 2027, allowing some employees with longer-term illnesses to return to work gradually rather than remaining fully absent.

Where medically appropriate, employees may be able to work at 25%, 50% or 75% of their normal capacity. The arrangement will require the agreement of the employee, employer and treating doctor and is generally intended for cases where incapacity is expected to last more than four weeks.

For employers, the reform could support smoother returns to work but will also create new administrative responsibilities. Employers will have just seven calendar days to assess whether a role can accommodate partial work, with consent potentially deemed to have been given if they fail to respond within the timeframe.

Organisations should therefore begin reviewing their return-to-work processes, HR and payroll systems, and internal decision-making procedures ahead of the 2027 implementation.

Payroll ensures employees are paid on-time and correctly, while employment compliance ensures the organisation itself is operating correctly.

Confusing the two can leave significant risks undiscovered until an audit, employment dispute, or transaction brings them to light.

Understanding where payroll ends and where employment compliance begins enables organisations to build stronger governance, reduce regulatory risk, and make better-informed decisions as they expand internationally.

Beyond Borders HR works alongside payroll providers to help organisations manage the broader employment compliance framework, including worker classification, employment contracts, cross-border workforce planning, HR policy reviews, and global employment compliance across more than 150 countries.

France introduced new limits on the duration of sick leave prescriptions from 1 September 2026. For the first time, statutory limits apply to how long a medical professional can prescribe sick leave in a single period.

Under the new rules, an initial prescription will generally be limited to 31 days, while each renewal will be capped at 62 days. The limits will apply to prescriptions issued by doctors, midwives and dentists.

The rules do allow medical professionals to prescribe longer periods where a patient's condition genuinely requires it. In such cases, the additional duration must be supported by appropriate medical justification.

For employers, the change may affect how longer-term absences are managed and monitored. HR teams should update their absence management procedures and ensure that managers understand how the new prescription limits may affect ongoing sick leave cases.

Organisations should also monitor any further guidance on how the new limits will operate in practice.

A structured compliance audit provides organisations with a clear understanding of where those risks exist, how significant they are, and what should be prioritised.

That visibility enables HR leaders, legal teams, and business executives to make informed decisions before compliance issues become financial liabilities.

Beyond Borders HR supports organisations across more than 150 countries with global HR compliance audits covering worker classification, employment contracts, payroll and social security compliance, HR policies, termination risk, and cross-border workforce management.

By identifying issues early and providing practical remediation plans, organisations can strengthen their employment infrastructure and expand internationally with greater confidence.

The UAE has stepped up its Emiratisation programme, introducing stricter compliance measures and tougher penalties for employers.

Organisations with 50 or more employees are now required to ensure that Emiratis make up at least 10% of skilled roles, while businesses with 20 to 49 employees in 14 designated sectors must employ a minimum of two Emirati nationals.

Enforcement has also become more sophisticated. Authorities are now using AI-powered monitoring systems to identify potential attempts to circumvent Emiratisation requirements, including practices such as "ghost employees" and other non-genuine employment arrangements.

The reforms also include a new minimum monthly salary of AED 6,000 for Emirati employees.

The requirement applies to new, renewed, and amended work permits from 1 January 2026, and has extended to existing employees from 30 June 2026. Employers that fail to comply may face substantial financial penalties ranging from AED 100,000 to AED 1 million per violation.

In some cases, courts may also require employers to continue paying affected Emirati employees for up to two months while investigations are ongoing.

Alongside these developments, the UAE is exploring wider reforms to its end-of-service gratuity framework, including the possible introduction of a defined contribution savings model.

While these proposals are still under consideration, employers should continue monitoring developments as the country's employment landscape evolves.

Italy is continuing to strengthen its regulation of artificial intelligence in the workplace.

While Law No. 132/2025 came into force in October 2025, the framework has continued to evolve in 2026 with the preliminary approval of implementing decrees that provide greater clarity on how AI can be used in employment decisions.

The legislation establishes key principles for employers using AI across the employee lifecycle, including requirements for transparency, meaningful human oversight, and protection against discriminatory outcomes.

The latest implementing measures are intended to further align Italy's national framework with the EU AI Act and clarify expectations for workplace AI systems.

For employers, the focus is no longer simply on adopting AI tools, but on ensuring they are used responsibly.

Organisations relying on AI for recruitment, candidate screening, performance management, promotions, or other employment decisions should review their governance frameworks, maintain appropriate human involvement in decision-making, and ensure AI systems are deployed in a fair, transparent, and compliant manner.

As AI regulation continues to mature across Europe, employers should monitor further implementation guidance and assess whether existing HR policies and processes remain aligned with both Italian law and the wider EU regulatory landscape.
