The conditions for remuneration specify, inter alia, the rates, components and method of calculation of remuneration and other benefits. They also govern the arrangements for their payment, as well as the date, place and form of payment.

The terms and conditions of remuneration and other work-related benefits are laid down in a collective bargaining agreement.

Where the employer is not covered by a collective bargaining agreement and employs at least 50 employees, the conditions for remuneration are set out in the remuneration regulations.

The remuneration regulations are laid down by the employer. If the employer has a trade union organisation, the employer agrees the remuneration regulations with it.

In the case of employers who do not have a collective bargaining agreement or remuneration regulations, the conditions for remuneration are laid down in contracts of employment.
