Kollektivvertrag

A Kollektivvertrag, or collective agreement, is a formal contract negotiated between employers and employee representatives (like unions) that sets important work conditions for employees. These conditions include wages, working hours, holidays, and other benefits. The goal is to ensure fair and consistent standards across industries or companies. Once agreed upon, the terms apply to all workers within the scope of the agreement, providing clarity and stability in employment relations. This system helps balance the interests of workers and employers, fostering fair treatment and improving working conditions.
