ROUNDUP: holiday pay in Germany is rare – FAZ – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

DÜSSELDORF (AFX) – holiday pay from the employer for the “best time of year” is rare in Germany: Nationwide does not even receive half of the workers nor the special performance. This emerges from an online survey with 6400 respondents who published the collective archive of the Economic and Social Research Institute (WSI) of the Hans Böckler Foundation on Wednesday. therefore currently get 41 percent of the employees holiday pay, in 2013 it was 47 percent.

Men (49 percent of respondents) reflect the performance more often than women (35 percent), in West Germany the proportion is significantly higher with 47 per cent than in the East (27 percent), and larger farms pay holiday pay more than small businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Differences between East and West at the expense of the East, there are about in the textile, the confectionery industry and in wholesale.

Overall, the proportion of employees with vacation pay is slightly declining for years, also stagnating the level of performance in the majority of industries, such as the WSI identified during the evaluation of collective agreements from 22 industries. One reason may be fixed reimbursement rates for the holiday pay in collective agreements, so that the performance with new wage agreements not climb.

The amount of the tariff holiday pay varies greatly depending on the sector between 155 and over 2000 euros extra. Least money for the holiday budget get in this year workers in agriculture and coal mining. The highest payments are available in the industry – such as in the printing and metal industries

Above average often will leave money paid in companies with collective bargaining coverage -. The proportion lying there at 61 percent. Workers in companies that exclusively from the collective bargaining coverage or are not even occurred, on the other hand received only about 32 percent of holiday pay. The constant decline in the proportion of holiday pay in recent years could well be related to the trend of decline in collective bargaining coverage, said WSI collective researcher Reinhard Bispinck./rs/DP/jha
