The temporary suspension of board positions, introduced by the Act to Supplement and Amend the Rules for Equal Participation of Women in Leadership Positions (FüPoG II), allows executive board members and managing directors in certain life situations, such as maternity leave, parental leave, care for family members, or illness, to have their appointment temporarily revoked and be reappointed at a later time. The law stems from the #stayonboard initiative, with Dr. Tobias de Raet (partner at law form lindenpartners, Berlin) being one of the co-initiators of this initiative. On 20 November 2024 he illustrated the history behind this regulation, its application to various legal forms and corporate bodies, as well as the challenges and practical implications in corporate practice.
