Provisions of aveGAV to be complied with

General binding declared collective labor agreements (aveGAV) are agreements agreed by employers or employers' associations and employees' associations, which are declared general binding by the government. They are directly applicable to the individual employment contract. The government's declaration of general applicability extends the scope beyond the contracting parties to all establishments in the specific industry.

Whether a posted employee and his or her activities are subject to aveGAV is determined by the provisions on the scope of application in the respective regulations. The minimum provisions to be complied with pursuant to Art. 4 of the Posted Workers Act can be found in the supplement to the ordinance in each case. The minimum wages to be complied with by posted employees can be found in each case in the wage and protocol agreement (annex to the aveGAV).

The wage classification is determined according to the criteria in the respective aveGAV, such as the area of activity (e.g. technical or auxiliary activities), qualifications and professional experience. Depending on the aveGAV, expenses may be reimbursed. Overtime may require a wage supplement of 25%. Special payments such as vacation and vacation compensation are to be paid to the posted employee/ for the duration of the posting pro rata temporis with the current remuneration - as a rule already with the respective monthly salary, even if the aveGAV provides for the payment of a total amount only at a later point in time.

Questions, in particular regarding the applicability of an aveGAV for a specific activity and the classification with regard to the wage level, should be addressed to the Central Joint Commission (ZPK).
