In 2001, the American Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg (AmCham) published the first edition of its very useful handbook "Working in Luxembourg" . It is a business and professional guide providing an overview to help professionals and business owners understand the rules, practices and customs of the Luxembourg business environment as well as the realities and cultural context of the workplace environment, the governmental and social support systems. In 2005 a team of legal and human resources experts revised and updated this enormously successful book in coordination with both the Luxembourg and American governments. The subjects covered range from work permits to maternity leave, business licenses to tax withholding, educational resources to private clubs to relocation companies. The second edition is also available CD-ROM from this office (free of charge). To order the publication, please contact AMCHAM Luxembourg at (+352) 43 17 56 or at info@amcham.lu .
