Tariff-based Future Payment
Your future – your tariff-based future payment
Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements have an entitlement to the tariff-based future payment: an additional annual benefit from Fresenius, the amount of which is calculated based on your individual collectively agreed remuneration. You can find the list of participating Fresenius companies here.
You can determine how your payment is used from year to year. You have four options and can choose differently each year. Either your tariff-based future payment can be used for a single purpose or a combination.
If you make no selection, the tariff-based future payment will automatically be paid into the compensatory time account or - if you are not entitled to a compensatory time account, a payout is made.
Your options
Days in lieu
Is flexibility of time important to you? Then you can use part of the future payment for individual days in lieu. The maximum number of possible days in lieu is 5 days. As a general principle, these are to be taken individually. Deviations are possible.
Compensatory Time Account
Do you rely on long-term planning? If you put the future payment into the compensatory time account, you can use it to finance subsequent days in lieu for a break, further training, care, or early retirement.
PlusCard
Would you like to take out additional private health insurance and at the same time benefit from a wide range of offers in the field of wellness and health? Then you can use your future payment for the PlusCard.
Cash payment
You also have the option of having the tariff-based future payment paid out in full or in part.
