Tesla is facing allegations of withholding wages from sick workers and pressuring them to disclose their private medical information in Germany.
German workers enjoy strong labor protections, and Tesla's actions may complicate matters for the company in Europe.
According to reports, Tesla notified employees by email about the decision to withhold pay from sick workers and allegedly pressured them to disclose their diagnoses.
The company expressed doubts about the submitted certificates of incapacity to work, which led to these actions.
