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.

Requirements
You are entitled to the tariff-based future payment if you are a tariff employee and receive a salary or continued salary payment from an employment that has not been terminated on the first working day of the year in which you are entitled to the payment (= reference date).
It's your choice!
You want to keep the intended use: You do NOT need to submit a new selection form; your selection will continue to be valid for subsequent years.
You want to change the intended use: We need to receive your selection form by 31.10.2024. Otherwise, your previous selection will also be valid for subsequent years.
You have not yet selected an intended use: We need to receive your selection form by 31.10.2024. Otherwise, the tariff-based future payment for 2025 will be transferred to the compensatory time account in April 2025. For employees who cannot participate in the compensatory time account, a payment will be made with the April 2025 payroll.
