Tarifvertrag

A Tarifvertrag, or collective bargaining agreement, is a contract between employers and trade unions in Germany that outlines the working conditions, wages, and other employment terms for workers in specific sectors. It is negotiated to ensure fair treatment and standards for employees, providing guidelines on salary, working hours, vacation, and notice periods. These agreements help maintain a balance between employer needs and employee rights, supporting both productivity and fair labor practices in the workplace. They are legally binding for the employers and employees covered under the agreement.
